The Banyan Tree

Birds sing on the banyan tree
A new book will be launched soon
A new Bangladesh is born in February
New knowledge is presented to be known

The writer looks at the people
He is happy to see the zeal among them
Their eager eyes glitter like ripple
They love books more than gem

The banyan tree witnessed for hundred years
What happened in the sacred Bangla Academy
The nation built the place with blood and tears
Which hosts now the prestigious ceremony

Launching started with offering of bouquet
To the writer and the guests waiting under the tree
Some books were taken from the packet
To distribute among the attendees of the party

Guests spoke one by one about the book
The writer expressed the exciting story of writing
The audience was impressed by his charming look
Photos were taken for recording everything

The banyan tree witnessed another  ceremony
A new book started its cheerful journey

You have used brilliant imagery that blends with the flow -- adding a sense of Timeless-ness to the capture. Surely, you are a wonderful writer. Shall visit you again in few days.
Keep penning, Zainul. Cheers
