River

Seema Ali

Epic
Near a meadow burns a fire
Two pence lying in the grass
There was a fight.

John lost his money
It feels when,the howling rain
Snatched it away.

It happened that day that mama
Cooked a stew and green peas garnished it
Dad came home but John had lost his money
Pain stricken, John held the door letting
Dad inside.

Green peas and Stew!that's all you knew
Dad screamed
