The Same Old Story Repeated In 2018 Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Same Old Story Repeated In 2018

Rating: 5.0


Time is no lesser dramatist than Shakespeare
The drama it staged on the New Year Day
Started with wild dances and mild drinks
Blue Eyes met to reflect a bluish ray.

January was passed in exchanging the bouquets
Life in February was passed in the parks with flowers
March added perfumes to alcohol of passions
April invited the couple at the lonely bowers.

Proved too hot for lovers the month of May
June added fuel to the Adam's ancient fires
Rains fell in July and tried to cool the burning clay
But in August they became a slave of desires.

The elders were constrained to interfere in September
The autumns of October came with misunderstandings
Tears after smile, and smiles after the tears,
November so mild and pink ended with understandings.

Then came the December when the two families met
Deciding to share a feast on the coming Xmas
To come more close and enjoy the day of love
To greet each other a merry Christmas!

FANTASTIC! A very encompassing write of the same winds of time. Liked the title and the final stanza brings out the joy, love and spirit of Christmas. Wonderfully crafted and executed.

What a fantastic expression you have made dear Jawadji. So brilliant poem. I wish to visit this poem over and over again. The beginning stanza is begun with a dramatic style. The second stanza goes on playing. The last stanza provides much love and happiness. Thank you a lot.
