Issue 12 - Fear<br />

Taken by a Storm<br />

Taken by a Storm<br />

Asha Jacob<br />

A dramatic fool once, wind-shielded his life.<br />

And suddenly, with nothing<br />

To take him, by a storm,<br />

He had no fears! Plup, plop, plup<br />

Tup, tip, tip, tup...Then the sounds<br />

Of water made him jump. Little noises<br />

Made him dunk, his head into a rug.<br />

But when his own shadow<br />

Sent him up, the ladder,<br />

Up, up to the attic, and left him there<br />

With his loud breath, he realized that<br />

Despite his size, he had shrunken.<br />

He remembered that, he once had had<br />

More substantial fears, that once conquered,<br />

Sent him shooting, up in life and<br />

Not up the ladder, into the dark and dinky<br />

attic.<br />

Thus enlightened, the placid wise man<br />

No more feared the storm.<br />
