Winter Waffle
shivering bodies, bleary eyes see no thermostat
coat season for some, fashion thrives beyond that
merciless to homeless, merry to mansion
winter fort, summer villa, home for vacation
a grip of yearning for long distance cuddle
families around the fireplace cheer and huddle
freezing, chilly, cool, pleasant- diverse roles
souls sense it different at equator and poles
piercing cold for lonesome hearts
warm snowballs make friendly darts
unfair winter or uneven fate
some love it, some do hate
shorter and harsher to inure
it is changing for sure.

Srijana KC Rayamajhi, Nepal
I was born in 1990, in Kathmandu. I have two siblings. My father being in Nepal army, I went to the army school. I am a doctor by profession. I write both to express myself and for my love for Art and Creativity. Besides I like painting, reading books, visiting places, trekking at times. Yet, sleeping is what I'd like the most, if only I could.. I try to listen to Buddha's words and therefore pursue peace since childhood. My name Srijana, in Nepali, means ‘Creation’. My poems are 'born of heart', Manasija. My poems are 'born of mind', Manoj.
