Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty Poet Rhyme

Grandma

The fighting lulled for a moment
                          We were waiting for grandma's comment
                        "Oh my sons had fussed over their children"
                        "Go to bed right now and read Mrs. Mildren"

                           We were reading the buccaneers' tales  
                             Plundering ships,adventures in sails 
                            It was grandma's gift her own choice
                    She sang, nature had gifted her with a fine voice

                        She sang for us when pirates went to sleep
                         In our dreams Mrs. Mildren's words creep
                      She touched our hands we turned over in bed
               She kissed our heads moon eclipsed sun sneaked in red

                We came out of the room and she greeted "Hello boys"
                  "O sure these two little imps would ride Rolls Royce"
                     She is no more now she is sleeping in her grave
                 She had hushed the stars her grandchildren are brave

Andrea Dietrich March 7, 2015 at 8:08 PM rajat I like when you write this way. I think limericks kind of restrict you from saying all you want to say. this is very nice and I hope it makes the winners list.
