Eclipse

Jupiter was a happy man!

Short in stature,

polished in smile

He walked as if Lear on stage

Honour!

It kept him strong like the banyan tree

”Come what come may,

I am born to rule! ”

His playthings were well ruled by him.

It was just the other day

When the storm came

It rushed through the doors

Ransacked bookshelves

Then stole away through sorrowing

Window-panes,,

And then there were none

Only a few cars clogged in

traffic jam

five to ten minutes could it be

then

They too moved as red turned green…
