The Guard of my Flat

It is about a night guard whom everyone thinks as a hero but some secrets remain about him.

The rain was pouring hard

And it woke up the night guard

Who was sleeping beside the stairs

And acted as if he cares

People thought he would protect all

The residents of Twinkle hall

But the truth only he knew

He cared for no one but a few

Long back this incident took place

When I was twelve years of age

He was put on duty one night

And a thief came with all his might

The thief climbed up the stairs secretly

And he saw the guard sleeping deeply

He went from one room to other room

And looted till his bag had no room

And that as the thief was coming down

The lights went out in the whole town

But the thief kept walking and hit the guard

The guard on that, caught him like a leopard

The lights came and the thief broke free

And started running towards an oak tree

The guard told," Let him go

I did this, how will the people know."

Then he realized his wallet was missing

And like a snake he started hissing

He ran now, like he never ran before

Caught the thief in minutes of three and four

The people came out to help the guard

And even peeped out the bard

Everyone praised him and also thanked him a lot

But he couldn't find his wallet for which he fought

Later he came back to the flat

And saw his wallet besides the cat

Must have dropped it when he was sleeping

Without that, all would have been weeping

Tonight again he drowses off to sleep

for no thief he wants to keep

Everyone thought of him as a hero
But the truth only he and I knew

Great story telling. The images came to life.

You have a great talent for writing and seeing life your way. I do like this. I would love to see more like it. As a poet, it is difficult for me to create rhyming poems without sounding forced. Yours flows in a magic rhythm not forced; natural, as it should be. In high school, i wrote. I wish I would have had an outlet to share. Keep sharing and I will keep reading.

I like the story. Sometime the real truth is better hidden. I like the ending. The guard finding his wallet by the cat. Thank you for sharing the excellent story.

A story inside a poem, nicely written!! :)

[Reflectus]

Haha, that was an interesting story. There would be very powerful guards, and then, there would be some who would get bored by keeping a guard and fall asleep, though they still continue to surprise us sometimes. I enjoyed the poem, the rhyme kept it flowing, good job, keep writing.
