I was Hijacked Once

Once nature spread its shawl dark,

In all places,

All alone I was,

Silence was stabbed rarely by the dog’s bark.

 

Enjoying the loneliness was I,

Moving towards the goal,

Slowly like a cloud idle, 

At times looking at the generous sky.

 

I sensed something evil,

All on a sudden,

Felt like a few men,

Were following me as if I fled from jail.

 

I dared to have a look behind,

Like a deer,

In utter fear,

And felt in me a frozen mind.

 

Showing me all the weapons they had

They snatched all I possessed,

Making me deeply sad,

Yet they could not grab my heart; so I was glad!

I really like the deer paragraph, frozen in headlights. I can feel it. But the ending feels... like there should be more. Give me another paragraph about why you are glad. I want to hear more. Great work though! I really enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. The last line is a bit puzzling. The speaker made an ironical remark after losing everything. He felt that one very precious object he still had with him i.e. 'heart' and that's the reason why he felt so glad. I feel extremely honoured that you've requested me for another stanza. Actually, I follow two particular styles in writing poetry. Firstly, poetenry [poems of ten lines] and kurine [poems of twenty lines]; these words are invented by me. :)
