Mrs. Ullrick Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Mrs. Ullrick

Rating: 5.0


She was liked and loved by all,
A charming lady who was gorgeous and graceful,
Slowly she spoke and slowly she walked,
Always well dressed,
Her fair complexion had no simile or metaphor,
I never saw her not smiling,
We often missed classes of boring teachers,
But we always waited for her tutorial class,
Only once a weak!
She taught us how to improve,
Speaking, reading and writing,
A foreign language, yes English it is.

Mr.Ullrick one of our teachers,
Although a nice man,
And a nice teacher,
A jolly friend liked like her,
I don't say he was not handsome,
But his complexion was dark,
We always discussed how he won Mrs.Ullrick,
What did she see in him to marry?
We did not have courage to ask,
Either Mr.Ullrick or Mrs.Ullrick.
Time passed and during our union weak,
A rainbow of music and lovely dances,
A day of beauty with colorful dresses,
When the buds appeared as sprung flowers,
Getting rid of the white and boring uniforms,
Arms in short sleeves and a light makeup,
Scoundrels like me were a bit overlooked,
Liberty a little we enjoyed on that day.

But the day was shaded by a milky moonlight,
A man came on stage with a violin in his hands,
A sorrowful slow tune made the hooters quiet,
I saw life in stones so hard, and the hearts fragile,
Sent droplets to the eyes that shined like pearls,
Power of music of a handsome man!
Pearls like stars of a fairy on the earth,
Music of earth can win a fairy of skies!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A true story of my college life. Mr.Ullrick was truly handsome, a man of nice nature, a lovely teacher and his personality has the charm of music in it. After the union weak we gathered courage and asked him if it was his music that helped him in winning Mrs.Ullrick, he smiled and nodded. We never knew what brought tears in the eyes of Mrs.Ullrick, probably because it was the effect of the tune played.

Was it music that stole the heart of Mrs. Ullrick? The man who came on to the stage with a violin in his heart and sang..... was it Mr. Ullrick? You haven't specified! It is true that music of the Earth has the power to win even fairies of the sky! Enjoyed this true story!
