The potter's daughter; like her father's craftsmanship
very beautiful to her *pinafore dress and the pigtails.
He sniffs when I ring the bicycle bell
during my routine delivery of their daily bread.
He knows my boss well; the pot bellied baker
and they are good drinking partners.
Baker's son goes to a high school
and very smarter than me.
Oh! I am an orphan who sleeps on a sooty mat
near the oven.
But she likes me very much
and I gave her a birthday present a stealing bun.
Postscript
*Because of her pinafore dress and the pigtails
she was attracted to me (on her school days)
and still struggle in life.
Dedication to the wild flowers whatever blossom & deteriorate
mysteriously in the wilderness.

As usual, my friend, and outstanding piece. I read your postings and I feel a joy, not unlike the feeling one gets when they see a loved one. This is your usual standard of craftsmanship with that sly tinge of humour, wich is there but is never the reason for the poem.

This is a small gem of a poem. It would be difficult not to like this boy who makes the best of a very hard life. Lovely work, Nimal. Regards, Sandra
