The Terrible Storm
by Kokab Rahman
copyright 07-06-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
In the log house there sat three
At the fireplace, drinking tea

There, sat a cuddled up cat, too
In the warmth of the room

Outside the log house was all white,
Snow covering every patch in site

Cold wind from the north did roar
The coming of a terrible storm

Fear did strike the family
In the log house, about what'd be

The end result of the storm
If it did last too long

Supplies were sure to finish
Or at least they would diminish

The family was sure to freeze
If the cold did increase

The thought didn't occur to them
That there was still time at hand

For them to go to the city
To get things for them to eat

Nor that there was still time to chop
Wood to add to the existing stock

More snow did come that evening
And even more the next day

Slowly and slowly the family's
Supply of food did decrease

Until one day there was no food
And so very little firewood

What was the end of the family?
In the garden is to be seen

In one corner there are three
Headstones which mark the place they be

Lying in a very deep sleep
From worldly pains they are free

And the cat? It's buried somewhere nearby
With a circle of stones to mark where it lies

This doesn't sound like a nice way to go, but at least they were together! Anthony

Kokab, I liked this very much. They all went together into the next life. I don't think it is sad. Your imagery was excellent!...Connie:)

Aww... I am getting really sad tonight. *sigh* I need my Honey Bun!
