Part 2: Whisper in December By M.A. Rathore

Part 2: Whisper in December

By M.A. Rathore


(1)
icy storm-
a silent ghost comes to
hover the rooftops

(2)
a snow drifted land-
I can only see the bright eyes
of the white kitten

(3)
December sunrise-
the bathroom geyser chocks down
with ice

(4)
December sun set-
the cricket forgets to sing
the lyrics of love

(5)
December hailstorm-
Grandma asks for more blankets
and a cup of tea

(6)
chilled December-
she asks for a skin care cream
to protect her body

(7)
stormy December-
her white lips require
a lip guard

(8)
snowy winter-
a kitten tries to sit
beside the heater

(9)
snowy winds-
my mother peels the skin of
a sweet potato

(10)
December sunshine-
she spreads clothes and makes
stand her baby outside

(11)
holiday season-
my father suggests me to
cover the syllabus

(12)
December closing-
a tailor bird makes a nest
before the sunset

(13)
heavy snowfall-
a woodpecker forbids to
fallout from its nest

(14)
Winter drizzle-
am just enjoying my days
with a paper boat

(15)
dense fog-
a snail mistakes
the lane

(16)
foggy morning-
my mother carries me to
shower

(17)
Winter sets in-
she reminds me of weekend
in her close company

(18)
icy city-
she gathers flour
while kneading

(19)
after snowfall-
the sun breaths
in the open

(20)
sad demise-
the son finds no alternate
of mother

(21)
A heavy loss-
destiny closes the
calendar

(22)
a heavy loss-
the calendar closes
at the end

(23)
winter snow-
the cook coughs outside
the kitchen

(24)
winter twilight-
Grandma keeps close
her specs

(25)
Winter night-
snow falls slowly,
slowly…

(26)
December ends
with success and sadness-
memories influx

(27)
December 31-
a bride bids farewell to attend
her new abode

(28)
heavy snowfall-
Christmas tree bears no stars
for decoration

(29)
dense fog-
a snail reaches
nowhere
