Raihana Abdul Jabbar Poems

Curls of blue smoke,
Deep and Dense,
Rising up...up...up...
A Vampire From Death...
...

Dreams spinned away,
Silvery webs around me...
Drifted, I amidst them,
When a rustle woke me up...
...

Rummaging our way,
Through the school backyard,
Borrowing chalks, the ball, and
The bun from Mrs.Cook...
...

Eerie silence...
Restless feet tap-danced...
Fuming Impatiently,
To get rid of that feeling of Insecurity....
...

Holding dad's little finger,
I eyed the colourful covers.
Permission granted to choose,
There! I was DAZED! ! !
...

Twinkling dew on leaves of pine,
Her face, mirrors sunshine...
With spirit of a songbird,
She chuckles, a happy soul...
...

A Pleasant Sunday Morning...
The Zealous Blue Eyes...
With Light at the end of the Tunnel...
Looked unto his Mother..
...

Why the road so dire?
Why follow the fire?
Why vociferate endlessly?
You have unpredictable power! ! !
...

Leaning against the gigantic, geometric sculptures...
The fresh scent of the sea, I breathed in thankfully...
Listening to the water, the mesmerising murmur...
And the friendly call of the homeward gull...
...

Pacing through the busy lane,
Hauled me, The Sight, purely of anguish...
Muttering in her slumber, there lay,
On the squalid pavement,
...
