Two Fishes (Alternate Rhyme) Poem by Jyoti Sunit Chaudhary

On the path of a village

A fish was crying loudly;

Behind it another lay

On the land deadly.

Many were crossing them

But nobody heard,

Then its voice

Went to a kind shepherd.

Very politely he asked

And knew the reason.

The reason was nothing

But the cruel season.

The cruel summer season

Had dried the big pond.

In quest of water,

The two fishes reached the ground.
Not a dropp of water was found

Due to lack of rain,

So all their labour

Was in vain.

One of the two fishes

Was breathing the last;

He took the both

And ran very fast.

He put them into a tank

Conserving water for his cattle.

After that the fishes started

To dance and whistle.
