Aranya
Here's a sonnet about a different time and a different place:
Bali Sonnet
As dragonfly does beating wings advance
Through aether's mists of magic making spells
To Drop and dive thus carve a feasting prance
Oer manned village propp'd upon the tell
Four his wings, to chase the darting fire fly
As one may capture love in well sung song
Six the legs to seize upon perch or pray
Yet daytime moment's stay will end ere long
Aware the silhouette that lofts on high
Portends the cleaving moment all must know
The quick on earth must like the dragons die
Both chaste and those who carnal pleasures know
Heed the sound, that gamelan sweetly chatters
Sacred dance where every movement matters.
