Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

All Black and Smoky

Long-winged smoky wisps curling up
Now drifting like wind driven clouds
Then swirling like cobwebby curtains
Screaming sirens outside the house
Circling about darkening the hamlets

Outside the room shrieking of sirens
Windows seemed miles away
As he came near the window 
All he could see was acrid smoke
Devilish red flames burning his skin.

Pitter patter of footsteps coming up
Making his hairs stand up all around
The knot of fear grew bigger & bigger
The remains were all black and smoky.
