Newly Born Rectangular Courtyard
Hi! I am a newly born rectangular courtyard in the house
Decorated with yellow and red mud
Protected by a bamboo fence around
The Tin Roof is the oldest one but the bamboo, red, and yellow colors on me are the newest.
I was in a cozy storeroom for 5 years
Square long woods, old metal boxes, cloth bags, my dad’s damn boots from the Army camp, seasonal garlic and onions were stored on my broad chest
Mixtures, weapons, an old rice cooker, and extra kitchen utensils were packed in a sack and kept inside
I was multi-functional!!!
After these long years I have got a new shape a new life
Newly Born Rectangular Courtyard
This courtyard is pretty open and wide
Easy to breathe outside in an open space
Grandma is the regular visitor
She opens a door in the morning, do a round of sweeping the floor, water the flower sometimes
She sits on a red chair, drinks her morning tea, and look at the people walking on the road
She likes me more in the evenings because the cold air passes by
Her friends say ‘hello’ when they pass by near me
Kids also love me, a new courtyard
They come to hang out and chit-chat
Sometimes it’s an office space for Deepa and her brother
A laptop, a chair, a table, cool air, and a fresh mind
I am recently decorated with flower pots
Juniperus Indica has grown tall
Money plant has traveled a meter distance in a straight-lined wood
I am waiting for more exciting things for me
I actually love this new me very much
Yes, I am a newly born rectangular courtyard.
