Chetta Achara Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I suffer from chronic depression. Add to that the winter doldrums also known as SAD (seasonal affective disorder): fun, fun!

Winter's Curse

In my old age
I have become bitter,
and disinclined 
to hear pleadings from my sage..

It's only winter's cold curse,
how I long for summer's rays 
to warm my soul
and slay my heart's malaise.

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 1, 2024 at 6:12 PM Dear Chetta, you say it so well. My wife is not a winter girl and adores the summer. I am more of a four seasons. I do relate to your poem and the many who do not feel well in winter. - Blessings, Daniel Chetta Achara February 1, 2024 at 6:44 PM Thank you. Chetta Achara February 1, 2024 at 6:44 PM Thank you.
