Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


The birds on the trees screeched hysterically; permeating the atmosphere with their shrill ringing, 


Cars on the streets swerved wildly; clashing head on with the electric poles, 


Children studying diligently in school; rushed out in a frenzy from the building, 


Women busy chatting in shopping malls; froze in their footsteps; drowned wholesomely in the chaotic pandemonium, 


Infants crawling innocuously on the floor started to cry incessantly; banging


their diminutive fists against the table, 


Businessmen contemplating the intricacies of market; dropped their money; galloped like a boisterous kangaroo for life, 


The meticulous bus conductor forgot to halt at stops; speeded the vehicle; whizzing like a demon through the placid countryside, 


People languishing in the pool with the sun sizzling their frigid skin; sprinted to seek shelter in the dense jugglery of bush as the last resort, 


Clusters of teenagers painstakingly sucking ice-candy; devoured it in a single gulp; sacrificing all pleasure and relish, 


Dogs barking vociferously at unsuspecting strangers; subdued their voices to mellowed yawns, 


The barber who was leisurely trimming scalp hair; plucking a thin strand at a time; scraped apart the entire beard; in a state of bewilderment; infinite beads of sweat trickling down his nape, 


The petrified scientists in their state of agony; inadvertently launched space shuttles well ahead of the scheduled time, 


The pop star dancing like an angel to pulsating tunes; collapsed with a thud on the floor like soggy matchsticks, 


Security guards deployed on the border; fled helter-skelter using every iota of their imbibed skill; to salvage immediate shelter, 


Doctors in their clinics took potent pills for palpitation; to pacify their volcanically throbbing hearts, 


Fishes swimming majestically in imprisoned aquariums; slithered like never before; to the vibrations of passionate tension, 


Mosquitoes profoundly engrossed in sucking ripe blood; left in a hurry; flying to unprecedented heights of the ceiling, 


The spider raced several times in its web; feeling the insurmountable agony bursting in its tentacles, 


The artist sketching panoramic valleys; almost swallowed the brush in his mouth; made a sheer travesty of the image in nervous excitement, 


The prime minister articulately delivering the speech in his sonorous voice; disdainfully dropped the mike, 


The sun rays winked a little from their blazing shine; the winds blowing across roads shivered inexplicably, 


It was a complete mayhem out there; as the 10 foot long leopard escaped from caged bars; gallivanted like a king through the busy traffic lanes; and a single growl from the beast had people proclaiming in all directions of the; man eater at large.
