Compromise- Chastushka

Compromise- Chastuska Memories of eternal togetherness, Keep pinching my betrayed soul, Why is he not defying to confess ? Blinded by diamond now settled for coal ? Is there a layer of mist before his eyes ? My emotions till brim why can't he espy, In front of mighty tiger as if a goat sighs, Will friendship of a horse with grass justify ? Written September 1st, 2014 ABAB For contest 'Chastuska me' by Dr. Ram Mehta Awarded HM

Congrats on the winners' list. I think he asked for only one. that might be why it is not placed higher.

This brought to mind the movie Life of Pi. This has a mood of wisdom about it. Good luck in Dr. Ram's contest.

a very interesting use of symbolism with the tiger and then the horse! I wonder is it based on asian astrology?

Dear Dr. Upma, You are the diamond and if he can't see it, then he is the coal. I had to giggle at the last line. How clever! Best wishes in Dr. Ram's contest. Love, Carolyn
