Poem 66 - A walk in the snow


I Put on my coat went for a walk
I ran out of the house after my door I did lock
I saw children playing Red Indians
With sticks and no toy guns

I passed by a few women
They were in a group of ten
They were happily laughing
They were excitedly talking

People were very happy
That I could of course see
The walk made my body feel better
Making me warm was the coat's fur

I saw a sight which was surreal
And I really thought it wasn't real
It just looked like a painted picture
Of a Beautiful Free Snow Tiger

I ran off a bit scared of the creature
"Tigers are dangerous" had told my teacher
I went back on an other way
Where I saw frozen hay

It looked really completely funny
As it was covered with snow, the color of a bunny
Now the hill I did descend
So that at the bottom, time I could spend

I reached the end of the hill
Everything seemed to be still
Here everything was quiet
There was no noise, no fight

I went on saw a wall on which was written 'KILL'
I saw a man near it, through my back went a chill
To my home I decided to return
So I did run after I did turn
-Gaurang Rao

    really enjoyed your view and blending of these two prompts...the world has so many sides and your adding the snow tiger...makes me realize this world has so much to offer in living and in writing...thank you for posting...bkm

    "It just looked like a painted picture of a Beautiful Free Snow Tiger"
    That's my favourite part. I am picturing that most of all.
    Very nice.
