Angel Feet….1907 Poem by saadat tahir

Angel Feet….1907

Rating: 5.0


Fell in a dream munching heaven,
Left just one, did all eleven.

Dreamt of a castle made of cream.
Iced brownie, fairy theme.

Over the heavenly scape I float.
Slurping honey, in a cherry moat.

Princely tall and dark, handsome.
Sword by side and chocolates some.

Slowly approached with nuttela bars.
In deep brown eyes twinkled stars.

Sister jumped and spoiled the show.
Awoken, I frown at a heartless bro.

Rubbed my eyes, yawned a stretch.
Instantly knew what I had to fetch.

Tiptoed to the fridge, but wait! Hark!
May be in shadows a waiting shark.

An ear to mom’s bedroom door.
Heard the musical, papa’s snore.

All clear, I glided on my way.
Barely touched and he cautioned stay.

I flail and squeal, he picks me up,
to see those beaming brimming cups.
