Childhood memoirs

#OctPoWriMo : Prompt 12 - Write a poem that has 26 lines, each line begins with a different letter of the alphabet.

It has been a fabulous journey so far. With each prompt I am encouraged to allow my thoughts fly high across the plethora of magical world of words and creativity.

Today's prompt encouraged me to take on a journey down the memory lane towards my childhood and the fantastic festive memories entwined with it :-)

Asymmetric frame of mind,

Basking in thoughts sublime,

Childhood memories,

Dollops of adulation and mischiefs,

Effervescence brimming with vivacity!

Frolicking here and there with energy,

Galloping through the imaginative terrain,

Hurrah! Hurrah! It’s that time of the year again,

Inked are the plans in the mind,

Journeying to the ancestral palace divine,

Knocking at the door of time,

Loud are the shouts, festival time has arrived!

Mad, crazy, adorned in celestial dressing,

Nowhere else can a similar craziness be as enticing,

Overpowering…the feeling, meeting old friends, gossiping,

Plethora of festival fragrance dotting the surrounding!

Quaint idols, great music, humongous gathering!

Resplendent with tradition, centuries old,

Soothes the impatient soul,

Touches the innermost chords,

Untold, unexplored,

Vivacious, how can anyone not be charmed?

Wonderful memories are carved,

Xenon- embalms the spirit with divinity,

Yearning, craving- the dominant feeling of the heart,

Zealous to bathe in the sunshine of those sweet memoirs of a child (still at heart) !
