The sounds emanating from the tropical winter remains delicious
Leaves ruffling on their branches and shuffling my hair
Bid me to smile at their cold caress
More, the brown carpet which they offer me to walk on
When they fall to the ground is so enjoyable
I love the cracking sound leaves emit when I walk on them
What’s better with the tropical winter
Is the sunny clime that maintains itself throughout!
Pray, is it not a recreated version of a joyful summer
With the only difference being that, now, a cold breeze
Pricks my skin and invokes in my being
The harbingers of the sore throat
As well as those of the runny nose!
Pray, winter can be so relishable
When you live on an island
Winter, can even bid my muse of poetry
To hammer at the wall it has built around my heart
So that the world does see
That it is not made of stone
But rather, that it seeks only enough
Strength of might to face the winter
Even if, being so tropical,
It remains, enjoyable!
Why, the tropical winter is such a delight
Other than enjoying its feel
I do also remain grateful for the warm protection
That I have been blessed with
Yes, it is comforting and satisfying to sleep
Under warm covers at the deepest hours of the night
And to dream, of the hidden face of love!
Wintery broods, dreamy moods
Wintery broods, whimsical auras
Wintery broods, hopes of the greatness
Of our Existence!
An excellent, joyous ode to tropical winter.
An engaging and vibrant work delivered with the author’s customary poetic acumen.
