Chetta Achara Poet Monchielle Stanza

Notes About The Poem

Never Waste a Wish

I found a Jinn one day,
she grants a wish they say--
three times actually--
speak cautiously; she may
take you factually!

I found a Jinn one day,
she struck me like a spray
of gold-tinged midnight sky,
she had to my dismay
a mostly time worn eye.

I found a Jinn one day;
I could not stay away.
I did not ask for gold,
nor ever growing pay,
or never to grow old.

I found Jinn one day
I saw she must obey,
this old man's fervent wish,
that she would just array 
herself in mortal bliss.
