Rhyme Time
 
Introspection

Today I saw my face in the mirror

There I realised, it was someone else I saw

Regrets, horror, sorrow, terror

I saw nothing but so many flaws

I shut my eyes

To escape my cries

It doesn’t change anything

So I open them to feel the sting

And now I introspect again

Hoping to feel something better than pain

And to my joy, now I can see

O! finally the real me

The winter season

Winter is culminating

Shedding its effects

Some devastating

Making us freeze in our quilts hot

Tea and coffee offer comfort a lot

Birds and trees have turned pale

Streets are silent like a dumb dale

But it works the way it would

Let’s put on caps and burn

the wood

This big breath of nature

which we call cold

Will soon give way to spring

let’s dream and behold.
