Picture Perfect (On the Road from Tezpur to Jorhat)

A wide-winged hornbill
Glides, gently by,
Against the azure,
Of an autumn sky!

Green, green paddy fields,
And greener trees;
Women pluck tea leaves
Busier than bees!

Cloud wisps tumble
In their windy game,
White kohua fringes,
Complete the frame!
