The Day of A Voracious Reader
She slumped
On an interesting word of thoughts
On which she stumbled upon
In an amusing paragraph
Since then,
She had been with this chapter,
Skipped her coffee
And the practice for the zumba dance
*
It took her about 12 minutes and 5 repetitions
To deeply understand those seven lines
Meanwhile, her cat
Who was in Shayasan yoga pose,
Moved her tow for exactly two times
*
Clearly, this mindful distraction technique didn’t work
The time went past her lunch hour.
She was busy sobbing with Tina
When she was left alone by her cold-hearted brother
*
The money plant at the window
Happily felt the rainy hour.
But she, however, wasn’t thirsty enough to have water.
The day went by and bid goodbye to the sun,
While she was gradually
Becoming into a page-turner.
*
Exactly 11:50 in the night,
Tina, scarily, crawled over the body of her lover.
But someone grabbed her neck into his fist.
The girl somehow escaped to the door
Where she saw her brother.
Pointing a gun at her
As soon as the bullet left that gun slinger
Tina knew that her living days are over.
She pushed herself back,
The bullet swiftly pierced through
The chest of the murderer.
Tina immediately hugged her brother
And also apologizing for her mistake.
She took a moment to say ‘Thanks’ to her reader.
The undeniably fulfilled Tina,
Now, looked up at room and her cat
Like a child waiting for someone
To pat her back
For finishing another Novel!
This is the eighth poem in the series of NaPoWriMo 2018 challenge. Another fizzy and experimental one but not with the vocabulary.
The song of the day is a song, Evensong from The Innocence Mission. Enjoy it.
