The challenge this week is to write Kimo poems with this syllable count: 10/7/6.
buying a new calendar is a chore
I am flanked by finite fog,
besieged by emotions
***
Winter desolation dawdles with me
Lost in doleful alley
I wince at the windfall
***
festive season sounds insignificant
when trimming the Christmas tree
throws heart-piercing splinters

Balroop, your poetry beautifully elevates ordinary moments, turning the act of buying a new calendar or facing winter’s desolation into profound reflections. The emotions you weave into the festive season and trimming the Christmas tree resonate deeply. Great work!
