My Pebbles And Crabs Poem by Prasanna Mishra

The ship had left the shore
With them


They were sulking
on the shore
The returning waves
Helped
My struggling catamaran
A bit
To go forward
Into the deep waters
And told me so.


They returned
With rubies
And whales
I with sardines
And crabs
They discarded.


The few pebbles
From the shore
Gone,
My cottage burgled
Those sulking
Did it
On return.

They lived
So did
The grand voyagers
My catamaran
Moves with me
For the crabs
And sardines
And a few pebbles
On return
From the shore.
