1 Pursuer
He was waiting
For his full moon
Didn't turn up that moon
He still waited till a new moon's day
2Revenger
Glossy red lips
Fluttering sans wings
Not to flee away on legs
But to bite, sever apart
3 Violators
Clouds thronged
Beat till her heart poured
Her gheraoed star
Could not see her sinking
4 Grumbler
Far away school
Welcomes little'u.k.gs'
Grand-ma is grumbling
'Little babe is thinning'
5Reciter
Customary prayers
Split mind elsewhere
Legs and hands, eyes and mouth
In their own routine recitation
