Saree..A Woman's Charm Drape Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Flowers in a bouquet draped and covered

Find a conquering sweet charm

With irresistant feelings warm,

Cosy and inspiring, ethnic powered,




Beauty lies in concealing the facets salient

And this perhaps is best done

Even with lent make-ups none

With well designed and woven sarees radiant:




Colours, texture and interwoven lace

Motifs and features sure to attract

The mind and strong composure to distract -

All scenes real or in play instance and trace




Movements slow and fast bloom in drape - style;

All hypo and hyper feelings profuse

Flow in to please and sanctity: to infuse

No care nor deliberation, yet Grace all the while;


Folds, crease and the hanging end

Indeed a method in many a manner;

Spectrum from prismatic scanner;

Age-marked apparel in common blend,




For idols or dolls, brides and the slide -model,

The three -fathom long fabric does it all too well..!
