A Storm Has Passed Through The Town Poem by Aneek Chatterjee

A storm has passed through the town
last night. Rains lashed
Trees fell, leaves green and brown
flew, houses broke, dreams crashed

My brother sketched a figure with pencil
on a piece of paper, and I kept it on my table
Daddy looked at us through the sketch in pencil
Before death, he looked very feeble

Our dad was alive; always talked through the sketch
But the cruel storm snatched it from us
It's lull now, searching the piece of paper to fetch
our dream dad back to us
