Stefanus Nuno Pereira Poet Elegy

Farewell Jimmy Cricket

Alone in my room...
Bored and hungry
With no food to consume

I look at a corner...
A cricket
"Hello, Jimmy, it's an honour."

My room became his...
My new room-mate
My heart was filled wit bliss

Day 3, knocked off at five
Jimmy still in my room
"Come on, let's get you a wife."

I offered him to nature
Jimmy hopped with joy
Too bad I can't denature

It is a dangerous world
Lizard caught Jimmy...
I froze in angst as Jimmy twirled
