A Poem

There she comes, The Himalayan Vulture into this poem

She is eating each word, Words are screaming in silence

One word lost its leg, limping towards the outer space

Few words are jumping out of the poem for a hideout

Bleeding in blue, few are hiding behind the last sentence of this poem

Vulture is marching closer to the last sentence;

Last sentence of the poem is trying to fight back the Vulture by sharpening each word like a sword;

“It was an intense battle and we won” the above sentence is the last line of the poem says the mother Vulture to her chick about the missing dad.
