A Riddle Solved - Poetry by Neelum Afridi





"A Riddle Solved"





A dwindling soul lurking

In the forest dark and cold,

Where every wood had a story untold,

Of the fetching spring bygone.





"A bewitching beauty I once owned

Such the spring you just gobbed

About in this shirking hole,

But then I was raped by a feral dog.

It quenched its jones, while snuffed the bod.





Now, I am a riddle solved,
The ravishing soul is just a hole.

Your winter would lapse anon,

You'd doll up afresh o wood! 

My mojo once doomed

Can never again find its youth."

The soul now a ghost proclaimed in gloom.
