Poem of the Day [Lily]

Kolkata
By Lily Elizabeth Hartley


Kolkata is an interesting place,
But there’s lots of intimidating things to face.
Beggars, yelling, busy streets,
Too much walking for your little feets.
Cars and noises everywhere,
Sweat on your skin, and dirt in your hair.
Stray dogs sleeping on the sidewalks,
Bengali and Hindi’s how people talks.
Spicy food is what they eat,
With chicken kurry you just can’t beat.
And even through my sad self pity,
I see Kolkata as a neat city.
