Bangladesh (1)

There is so much beautiful Bangladesh outside the cities, too often forgotten in our busy Dhaka life

.

Bangladesh

 

A perfect garden – leveled, lush and growing;

leave chimneys’ pulse, tin cities, in your wake,

fly low on leafy lanes and endless highways;

this garden stretches mountains to mangroves.

.

Tender fields are lawns too fine to step on,

homesteads hide in shady fruiting trees;

crop residues neat piled are mushroom mountains,

ducks lure weary gardeners to cool ponds.

.

Graceful trees line tempting paths and alleys,

saris splash red colours in warm light,

playing children’s perfect animation,

cows and goats chew thoughtfully on green.

.
