those expressions on their thin faces
joyous now but harrowing a while back
it is so rare to see a newborn in their midst
it hit their marrows hard
no one ever made a guess
they would see such a day
now that they saw it
they want the grubs either in a soil
or in their heart deeply embedded forever
let me borrow the right sentiment
so that I can march towards them
and take an oath for their safety
yes, they will resist interference
but I will make sure that the resistant is liquid
where I will fry munchies for the grand party

I love it, you have created such an amazing atmosphere with your words =)
oh what a party- fried munchies...dare I ask what is being fried??
Have a great week!
I'll take some of those friend munchies...
Your opening line is great...It grabbed me and threw me into the party. I'm not so sure I will eat any of those fried munchies.
Party on! I'll bring a bottle!
Oh! This has such an ominous feel ... a party I will skip, thank you very much!
A party of thin-faced partiers.....yes, fried munchies will do the trick.
Nothing makes me happier at a party than fried munchies, indeed! This lovely, Gautami.
Definitely an ominous feel. Reminds me of the dried meal-worms I saw for sale at the store yesterday
I agree that the atmosphere is amazing!
Lovely picture of pure delight, well captured and well written
"They will resist interference" of course they will! thanks!
what a great combination of prompts! I think I may want to pass on the munchies though!
your words match the image well. What a party you have created, and fed them,

I don't blame them a bit for resisting interference. Bring on the munchies!
Surrealistic fun both in words and the illustration.
Fantastic combination of prompts!
Fantastic indeed!

everything's whirling like in dream!
Fried munchies sound so menacing...
Sounds like the kind of tea party I'd like to go to! tasty write..
Sounds like the tired convention of one of those entrenched political parties! (Pun intended)
Nice work, Gautami. I'll take some of those fried munchies :)
Pamela
nice your "frying of the munchies"
much love...
What a party!! Nicely written.
Words and picture in perfect harmony! Delightful as ever.
Yup - I definitely get the feel of a party I've been to in the past! Very entertaining!
ha. the mood of the party def changes over time...i like the taking of the liquid and making it useful in the end...
Makes me want to know a bit more about just who is partying. The image tells a story of its own.
Terrific piece and great job in creating a dual post!
"I will make sure that the resistant is liquid" and lots of it!
You always do it Gautami..weaving magic with words...excellent poem..
Thanks...
