Burnt Flower Poem by Vijay Sai R
Burnt Flower
Siblings playing see-saw
Tiny-tots hiding and seeking themselves
Boys fielding cricket balls
Hitting fours and sixes
Girls throwing throw balls
Parents leaving their toddlers
Just in time as the bell rang nine counts
Striking the hanging iron rail
Children hurrying all over
Running to their classes
As in one such class
A boy in standard nine
Slipped into his class room
Stabbing his teacher brutally
Collapsing her completely
All and sundry arrived
And took hold of the boy
Why he made such a heinous crime
Everyone stunned
At what he uttered
Enraged by the comments
Of what his teacher said the previous day
Mildly asking him to do well in his studies
Warning him of his complacency
Though whatever she said is in the best of spirits
Nothing can stop her from becoming an innocent victim
Sending shock waves all over
Let us all pray for the noble soul
To rest in peace
And no more such ghastly incidents…
Oh my Gosh! What a Tregedy. Great write; itself, a Good teacher. Took me back to the poem I wrote today: 21st Century- The Good, Bad and Ugly. God, what is this world turning into? May I invite you to my poems; the new ones: 21st Century- The Good, Bad and Ugly. Love and Distance.
Very well written and the twist was shocking. Thank you for sharing this....
Mindless violence in a mindless world! The search for meaning and for humanity in your poems is compelling. Your writing has power. When I read one of your poems I feel drawn to read the next. Thank you for introducing me to them.
I wanted to rate this art but you had no rate section Still this is a lovely story Harsh and meaningless violence detailed Try to not be so directly in the story and convey your input or feeling to these events Click my name to see how I express things in one of my poems
I like the idea of this poem and the sudden darker shift midpoint. Though there is something about the ending that personally I feel needed a change...maybe a symbolic metaphor. Good poetry.
so cool! well comprehendable...me too i invite you to read my poems and possibly comment on them...
