A Hungry Squirrel And an Ripen Apple

Dips Lawati 1974 (Chengmari)

December 23 
Free verse
In front of my varandah,
               With a gushing sound,
Quickly awoke me up.
                 A hungry squirrel lurking
On the top my attic roof
                 Made me attention.
Before a run on my stick,
                 Vanished it.
Alas! Where’s the falling apple?
                  Gone with greedy monster.


                      

About this poem

This poem is trying to depict what’s happening right now in the Middle East . So far I’m concerned as a poet, non the critics of our post lost genre raising the issues of there. ‘Food’ is a vital for an individual who r in real need.
