Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Sijo

October Bliss

An October bliss? Ha, what a crock! It is a misnomer;
With robust summer behind and a bleak, dreary winter ahead,
Who enjoys the onset of old age when youthful days are gone?

Andrea Dietrich October 12, 2014 at 12:45 AM Oh my so YOU are the cynic, Abdul? you took it very metaphorically, autumn as the ending of our lives. I hate that too!!! Congrats for your win. Abdul Malik Mandani October 12, 2014 at 2:03 PM I knew you will understand - cynic or not! I just wanted to put a 'spin' on it! Thanks for taking it in good spirit.
