I Let Her Know About My Windfall Poem by nimal dunuhinga
I Let Her Know About My Windfall
Yes, I have promised you my Cleopatra.
If I win a lottery,
I take you a long trip around the World in three hundred and sixty five days.
Firstly to the Mount Everest and from there to Venice as you like gondolas.
Then straight away to Egypt as I like boating in the river Nile.
And you may be surprise when you see a Mummy in a Cairo Pyramid.
An old festered king; That resembles me.
Now you believe me darling once I told you that I was a king.
But you thought I was almost drunk.
Hey! I won that lottery but they refused to give money
As I do not posses my own identity.
* Sadly I dedicate this poem to the innocent victims and survivors of Onna.
[The Quake may finish off the fading town Onna where there's almost been a death in every house.
-News ]
How ironic. You are a keen observer of the human condition. Your incidents are always vivid and alive. The footnote you added about Onna is very sad. May God pity them all. Kind regards, Sandra

Buying a ticket in a Lottery is surely the only way the poor can live their dreams. Your poem is high fantastical and yet there is more than a grain of truth in the inspiration behind it. Disasters seem to be falling out of the sky all over the world. Sadly, more and more innocent people are suffering through flood and fire and quake. Your poem reminds the reader of the terror and anguish of the people Onna. So terribly sad. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
