TREE’S ANGUISH

           -Kandepi Rani Prasad

“ So Lucky you areTo collect the smilesOf milky cheeked tiny tots!Why do you look so anguished then ?”A tree asked   it’s neighbour tree“I am in the schoolI thought and bloatedBloomed heavilyI wanted to becomeA carpet under the tiny feetBy dropping all my bloomsBut by the grace of the teachersI have transformed into a caneCausing  wealsOn the backs of the tiny totsIs it not a cause for anguish”?Asked the treeWiping out theSwelling  tears.
