She floats on the saffron shore, <br />Holding a bamboo basket. <br />Her heart beats <br />Within the shelter <br />Of peanut shells. <br /> <br />Toys and text books; <br />Picnics and pamperings; <br />All collided on a wall, <br />But death dropped her to be tossed. <br /> <br />The girl in a dirty frock – <br />She sells parched peanuts <br />For coins and eye pricks. <br /> <br />“Peanuts”, “Peanuts” – her withered call <br />Haunts her parents in the dungeon of grave. <br />Her pale figure walks away with Time Teacher.<br /><br />FABIYAS M V<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-girl-who-sells-peanuts/
