Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Verse

The River

A slack rope
                                          Funambulist enchants
                              Screams my little daughter to delight

                          Mad as a hatter, risks life to dangerous skills
                              An idea that lives on for generations
                               Adventure or poor man's livelihood, 
                                   
                                         Daring dazzle across,
                                                The River !
