Jeweled skirts, alluring cholis
A vision for unsuspecting souls
Dancing toes, anklet chimes
Magic for weary eyes!
Covered head, midriff bared
Come-hither call that hide
Silk clad limbs in red sparkles
Mirrored dupattas in silvery linings
Captures heart, till eternity arrives!
Clothes with deep layers
this second skin compliments
A woman's beauty and essence
A vision for unsuspecting souls
Dancing toes, anklet chimes
Magic for weary eyes!
Covered head, midriff bared
Come-hither call that hide
Silk clad limbs in red sparkles
Mirrored dupattas in silvery linings
Captures heart, till eternity arrives!
Clothes with deep layers
this second skin compliments
A woman's beauty and essence
Not unlike crowning halos
That hint of angelic presence!
That hint of angelic presence!

Fabulous ornament well illustrated in a beautiful descriptive poem. It is amazing how you were able to weave together each piece of the cloth in words achieving fabulous imagery taking form in the mind.
I wish you well.

Very exotic and evocative--I was transported!
Apart from the pleasure of learning about Indian wear, a bejewelled, enchanted poem.

Beautiful words painting a beautiful picture.

Thats a wonderful and magical description of a piece of clothing...what to us Indians is so everyday item. :)
Ooops, I mean lovely, lovely Ul....too many windows open, laughing.
I think saris and other Indian attire are some the most feminine, beautiful clothes.
hey it reminds me Aishwarya in Akabar - Jodha :-)
You make those clothes come alive. Marvellous use of words.
You know how we like the Lehanga Choli here!
Good one!
Lush, beautiful images. Indian dress is especially delicate and intricate, and your poem does it justice.
Magical - your words are vibrant and present vivid images - very nice!
Oh, thank you! I needed a poem to transport me away from my life and yours did that so beautifully! Ah, the power of poetry!
wow Ul! I can just see your image jumping off the page, beautifully written, beautiful imagery! :)
Oh UL this is an absolutely breathtaking very exotic poem
Very descriptive, a vision for unsuspecting souls!
Very lush. I wish I was able to get inside this type of life and see what it was/is like. It seems so sensuous, but how can it be anything but real life -- amazing sometimes and a drag the rest of the time?
The magic of Bollywood jumped right off the screen at me - you're so clever, so magical!
Paths into other cultures are great.
Beautifully described. Now I want to be bedecked in such magical finery!
quite beautiful!
your descriptions are so well written, quite an alluring poem and I learned a few things from this poem, thanks.
An interesting way to write about the Indian wear - loved it :)
