Hello folks! Today's post is a throwback to the time when I witnessed a Theyyam performance in Kannur. This particular one is a Pottan Theyyam, please check my previous post for a detailed description of this wonderful folk form. Hope you like it! 😄 . . Flames licking the skies, sparks flying from tender coconut shoots decked onto a prophetic god eyes bloodshot, drum beats like heart beat Fluttering feathers of headless chicken, People seeking their destinies in painted eyes In a temple hidden beneath a Milky white tree. . . #poetrygram #poetry #shypoet #poetsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writer #octoberpoetrychallenge #octoberpoetry #photopoetry #poetrycommunity #poetrychallenge #theyyam #academicadventures #nimsical #30daysofpoetry #30poemsin30days #octoberflc #instagrampoets #throwbacktuesday #imagistpoetry #lifepoetry #folklorist #indigenousindia #Kerelafolklore (at Kannur)
