56 My 12th Leaf

56.

My 12th Leaf



Picked thee from a vine

Name unknown to mine

Hanging on the air

To passersby bare

What plant are you? Tell!



Men on middle age

Girls looking teenage

Those men were standing

The girls were walking

Strangers on the road



Nineteenth November

From class just after

Fine day – sun was high

Filamer bye bye

Was about to climb



Overpass school zone

Traversed all alone

Trellis – on school side

Opposite – trike ride

And novelty store



Sat. class first time me

English MAT

Night – Ante Mily

Came from UAE

Twelfth Leaf memory.
