Untitled

by clare

It will soon be morning Amma walks the backyard Collecting flowers The best for the Goddess Who does nothing but sit At her ivory throne Sweets and diyas around Her face with a pasted smile I have so wished to wipe out. Appa's snore shake the walls I imagine his moustache Shivering under the onslaught Before he's off to the stores He would want his breakfast With Anna on his right side Telling Appa all about school And his stagnant progress While Appa nods and laughs. And after they would leave I will then open my books Where wonders of world hide... Till then, I make breakfast.
