Like dry leaves Softly scattered themselves. Deep, compelling emotion Hanging languidly Nipped the mind. She felt the eerie coldness While wrapping herself In the cocoon of the coat Of memories.
The winter that is all set to leave us, melancholy and we have unbridled emotions that some time gets into a state of conflagration, as much joy it brings with its arrival so much sorrow it attaches to our fragile emotions as we are dreadful to the extremity of the wickedness of weather and summer these days are testing out cool temperament and tenacity is migrated to cold storage.
Yes, unseen winter, climate change are making us see things that we have normally not seen for years, softly scattered and deeply compelling conjures a wonderful picture as the nature plays hide and seek with the good and bad part of human intervention. The joy of reading continues unabated here the moment I land…
Thanks Mani!!!

Thank you so much, Nihar. Your inspiring comments always make me smile. Truly, seasons do play a part in our lives. In cities also, we can witness the different traits of Mother Nature in different seasons. We only need the eye…. 🙂
Yes Mani, indeed we do see different shades of the spectrum of the Mother Nature in the heart of cities, it is in the timing, and the only problem is that we don’t get up early and walk the streets or drive the lanes and by-lanes of our city, which occasionally we do in Sundays and we see how beautiful are landscape of cities which gets lost in the clutters of the burgeoning traffics…just imagining that if we had only one season how boring life would have been, we have taken seasons for granted.
Thanks Mani.

Seeking comfort in memories while dealing with melancholy- love the simplicity with which you’ve portrayed these touching emotions in the poem, Maniparna.
Lovely words to visualize winter, while it’s already on the goodbye path here in our world….:)……btw, was thinking of requesting you, if you will kindly consider doing Guest post on my blog….I couldn’t find a Contact section on your blog, that’s why, requesting here in the comment section……..if you will be interested kindly get back to me at anindyar05@gmail.com …. thanks 🙂
Thank you, Anindya. Actually, if you click on my picture on the upper lift side, you’ll get a “view full profile with contact information” button. But, it seems to be a bit problematic. Have to change it.
Anyway, thanks for the offer. I’ll glad to contribute. Kindly send me all the details at maniparna5002@hotmail.com… 🙂
Thank you, Maniparna! I may use my second blog to experiment on that theme. I like your font and color. 🙂 Let me see if that theme is still available. The theme I use for my main blog is not available anymore!
Yes, WP deactivates themes now and often as it introduces new ones. While it is helpful to new users, it sometimes creates problems for those who get habituated using a specific theme.
Yes, I would like to change the theme, but I’m hesitant of doing that. I like some features of the new theme but have to sacrifice other features I like about the current theme. So I;ll stay put for a while. Thank you for your input!
What a perfect metaphor Mani! Though you have used contradictory words, the effect of ‘Unseen Winter’ is emphatic. ‘The cocoon’ conveys how much is concealed and with great effort. Outstanding! Thanks for sharing such a brilliant work. Just the title conveys a plethora of emotions.
