Flowers, in different coloured petals, are in display, <br />In a vase, upon a podium, in a banquet hall <br />For the visitors to see, breathe and vanish. <br />Likewise are brought ladies in extravaganza <br />By their men to the visitors’ wistful eyes <br />And taken back with envies gathered. <br />22.09.2000, Vijayavad<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-display-not-for-sale/
