Child! ! <br />A child that loomed worry! ! <br />A little child sat at a lonely three-corner; <br />Apple in her hand, chewed apiece; <br />Sitting there sully; <br />Deeply reminiscing her past; <br />Thinking deeply in thee world unadorned, I know; <br />Her expression lapsing any glamor world; <br />But in the boughs of sorrow! ! <br />Her eyes moist and dilated down; <br />Indicative of thee self tolerance in her; <br />Of not to burst; <br />A sign of maturity conditioning in her; <br />To remain strong in difficult hindering times; <br />But thee sorrow loomed her; <br />Sat there she; <br />In a shattered kitchen cloth stitched dress; <br />With a scarf of kitchen mop; <br />She must have been born and grown in kitchen, her life most; <br />I remiscend her picture I snatched from my bus ride; <br />Photographed in my mind, I still remember; <br />Her gesture was such; <br />Never can I forget; <br />Scoffed yellow in her eyes; <br />Was etched in colour a yellow pale colour; <br />Sitting on a small wooden sill cornered; <br />Where was she lost? <br />What was she worried about? <br />Worry etched her forehead; <br />But I was fast pacing across in a bus; <br />A poor child, I couldn't get to know! !<br /><br />madhumitha murali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-a-child-that-loomed-worry/
