Holiday Season Poem by RATIKANTA SAMAL

Associated with the English calendar
Synonymous to the Christmas season;
Season not for the special community
But the whole world brings joy and fun.

Moves towards the first month of next year
Close to the end of the month December;
A long cherished happiness blows mild
Merriment of twelve nights does occur.

Greatest festive period for the humankind
May not be a mere conception of tourism;
The Universal brotherhood engenders
The world family and fraternity do seem.

Music, dance, picnic and decoration
Outgoing year makes itself a history;
Leaving many lessons and symbols
Creates awareness for upcoming stories.

Greatest opportunity to spend the season
To capitalize some remembrance then;
Reviewing the evens forgetting the odds
Prepares a blueprint for the end year again.
