Pious old man Reading the Quran Always watching skies For non existing storms His daughter, my aunt Silent like a pond Longing for her child Sitting next to her Her husband, a martyr Captured in a frame But surely his soul Floats somewhere around Their daughter, a mum Peaceful like a dove A physician in love With some plants and seeds Her daughter, a child Curly nasty hair Annoying as hell Innocent as dawn Her son, a school boy Hungry like a crowd Surrounded by books Distracted by clouds And me.                    (doing poetry)
