An afternoon in June

In Lucknow this lovely town,
An afternoon of mid-june

Thick and laden mango groves
Resonate with lovely koel’s croon.

Hand-fans flick the scalding lu, while
On the window-sill pigeons buzz their tune.

Unaffected chatter of running children
Clamoring for their favorite Ice-cone.
