Poem Artwork

 

 Rhyming pattern  of  a limerick ( AABBA) 

 

 Sparrows once got hold the whole  place on a tree

 A pomegranate bush with  fruits a dozen into three

When the sun ready's to set

It  would  all come to nest

So pleasant to see! all twittering  free

 

 

  Laila, the sister, feeds birds with care

Each fine day,to give  grains and water of their share

Shaeber, her greyhound looks  on with pride

As little birds hop, and kids back from school  stride

 He soon retreats with a wild look  into his liar

 

 

 Kids  pluck  fruit of the guava tree, sweet to taste

scaring   monkeys who climb in  haste

But it took its time to go away

 Throwing  raw fruits on the way

 The gardener shook his head for the sorry state

 

 

 

A storm came with  fury and soon Tom’s back was sore

Picking  raw mangoes, two hundred, fifty and more

It was just for a minute, but branch of bitter neem tree

It fell breaking free

 On a  plaster  Tom got the day before

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                          

Entangled in tree, live wires were on the  road

 It was a  task to coax wiremen who  never keep their word

 Power was back in place

Before we got a chance  to chase the case

For the government guys love to sip their drinks and live like lords.

 

 

 

o To the graveyard my visit, on a day sublime

 Graves of my mother, father, grandparents all in  line

The place so serene, their loss,  I try to cope

  The offer from them was  much love and hope

happy   to be their first born,Roseline

The exotic imagery fills this poem with their gentle presence. A fine remembrance. John

Simply beautiful. If Tom is your husband, he's a lucky man. IF not, then he is even luckier!
