We are the bangle sellers
Who sell our colorful ware in the bazaars of Bombay
Come and see our rainbow tinted circles of light
Shining, radiant, and bright 

There are bangles for all ages:
Delicate pink for the playful children
Yellow and green for the shy young girl
Orange for the maturing woman
Red for the newly married wife
Bright as her marriage fire
Purple for the experienced mother
With a couple of growing children
Blue and gray for the wise old grandmother
Who still smiles through her aged eyes

Watch them tinkle with every feminine gesture
Hear them glow with your colorful costumes
Slide them on for any occasion, day or night
Come buy our colors of delight!

Note: I wrote this poem when an early teenager.
