This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 42; the forty-second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is "COLOR"
Every evening Grandpa holds my hand and takes me to the
garden.
I like it.
Today children are playing some new game.
“Tipi Tipi Tip Top”, one girl shouts.
“What color you want?” responds the chorus.
“Blue” the girl says and everybody rushes around.
They catch something and laugh.
The laughter is joyful and clear like a sea wave.
Now it is another girl, her voice is different.
“Tipi Tipi Tip Top,” she shouts.
“What color you want?” the chorus.
“Grandpa, what is color” I ask with curiosity.
Grandpa sighs. He holds me close.
His tears fall on my face.

Hey Aativas
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing? Been long. I'm sorry that our association has only been from one BAT to the other.
Anyways, the space looks different from the last time when I was here.
The story is touching, short, crisp and tragic to some extent.
Good luck!
Cheers
Very touching!
