Looking out my attic's window,
On a freezing-cold November day,
Upon the dull-grey London's sky;
A flock of starlings delights my eyes.
The houses, symmetrically aligned,
Appear to bear the mystery of earth;
My spirit, is howling like wolves,
In a stagnant hibernation, bruised.
Sombre like the weather is this mood:
Nothing in life seem of no good...
Frightened like a sparrow my heart beats,
And melancholia, with my loneliness it feeds.
Reminded me of Wordsworth's Upon Westminster Bridge. A soulful nice treat despite its melancholy. (10)
Sometimes a somber environment outside in tandem with our restlessness of our heart, acts as a catalyst to paints a desolate picture. A beautiful mood poem bringing out the darker shades of human emotion which each one of us must have experiences at one point of life or the other.10
This is a mood poem. Love it. Freezing cold November days are foreboding in Minnesota too. The bird imagery is great....The flock of starlings contrasts the beating hear of the sparrow and the howling spirit convey the mood so well. Thanks for sharing.
