Who writes poetry?

Some one in Ulanbator,
wakes up in cold dawn
and almost weeps
at the sight of virgin,freshly-fallen snow…..
Some one in Kingston,
spends all noon on the balcony
reading on his palms and neck
the sapphire messages brought by the wind…..
Some one in Chennai,
gulps coffee every alternate hour
with a coffee addict
who has smirks galore and nonchalance unbound for her..
Such are the people whom
u are likely to find
on days
gloomy and joyous…..
writing poetry!

Hi chitra here...liked this poem ...though the foreign names somehow seem pretentious to me...but the lines i like ...especially the coffee addict line...do write some reflective pieces or some verses...keep it up
