We’re building cities of Life
And setting them ablaze
With our word-balled comets

Just two wheels, to balance                                                                     The load on his back.                                                                              And there is just 4 miles distance                                       between ‘Singarapettai’ and back.                                                           Still nothing bothers him,                                                                          Not that huge stack.                                                                                   As he can’t wait to be done, and                                                               Go see his daughter who has come back.

3 long years at hostel it’s been.                                                                 So long that she wasn’t seen.

“Will she be all bright and new…                                                               Or will she still be the same daughter that I once knew…”

Thought as he went with the load on his back,                                              3 miles between ‘Singarapettai’ and back.

P.S. Haven't been able title the poem so any suggestions at all are welcome...

    hi, meerasan!!
    i love the whole feel of the poem. one thing though--i didn't realize the first time i read it--its the use of the word "back".
    i know there's a reason for the repetition but i somehow feel that you could improve it.

    Hey Thanks Shreya!!
    I didn't realise that either actually...

    last two lines...

    Thought as he went with the load that he had,
    3 miles between 'Singarapettai' and back.

    I've got a couple of other poems on my blog you can check it out...
