Domestic Shades 4 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Domestic Shades 4

Rating: 5.0


The thief was the chieftain that night
Stole from five houses erst in full flight
Last was ours at late night
Must've been there enough sound definite
As the windows were cut open straight
And weapons, palm-logs caught later our sight
Stupid me, unusually slept without a shake slight
However usual time set me ready for a plight
Monition woke up to wake up my daughter's exam fright
By then back door slammed me down at a dark height
Alarmed tongue drove the legs to fall and fear and excite
'Thief, thief' screamed my mind ready to fight
Nudged my husband with all my might
Stirred up hubby locked out of his sleep freight
Just to let the chieftain out of sight
Wide- open back door, broken windows stood quite
However remarkable was that night
For dacoity hacked many houses of our site
And trust, cop could bravely trace them out right

You have so touchingly described about the theft in this poem. When you got ready to catch they fled way. They might be caught by the cop. I want to cite....Thief, thief' screamed my mind ready to fight / Nudged my husband with all my might......For dacoity hacked many houses of our site / And trust, cop could bravely trace them out right. Brilliant work.10

Such occurrences are now quite common. Those who come to steal know exactly at what time of the night, the people are fast asleep. However you hd a small intuition that there was something wrong in the house.But by the time, you got ready for action, the person had left. Thank God the police could catch the culprits! You have described a very adventurous scene with all its horror and suspense! A 10
