Notes About The Poem
For Mohan Chutani's Let's Minichu on Dilemma 26 July 24

Minichu's Dilemma

restless thoughts drain my mind
to stay or leave, a choice plaguing  dead of night
fate...unkind 

one dream on hold 
while hours invade without delight--
I'm cold 

coins tossed
nothing goes right--
lost!

restless thoughts drain my mind
while hours invade without delight
lost!
