The Candy Jar
Siddhartha Lal 2008 (Varanasi)
One fine morning, on the brightest day,
A kid stood eagerly besides a jar of clay,
glittering his eyes and smile so dear,
As the desert time had come so near.
Candies of all colours like a rose,
All flavours of the sweetest dose,
Red green and Shades alike,
sweet and sour flavours that strike.
The blue ones were hard as rocks,
but within them was a sugary block,
Up next were the brown cones,
Amongst the elders, was the best known
Some were pink and somewhere Rosy -wrapped,
It has a lot of sweetness trapped ,
It’s all alike—family and the candy jar,
A kid can dream, but he can’t go far.
About this poem
The poem show cases that how one of almost fond memories from our childhood are somehow linked to our families. Sometimes the distance between us increases or maybe we are often lose some of them but what matters is how far we go we will one day come back to them.
