Poverty brings so much hardship with it…In India, places like Delhi still have cold related deaths.
That my writing has been able to strike a chord in your heart, is a great honour. Thank you. 🙏
Goutam, I like this senryu very much. I feel the pain of the people who perish from the cold in India. There is so much poverty in our world. I wish it wasn’t so. Very powerful poem. ❤
Am so happy that you like the Senryu. Yes, winter season is when the odds are heavily stacked against the deprived people. It is quite a challenge for them to survive.
Yes….come winter, one of the humanitarian works being undertaken by a few people/institutions in India is distribution of blankets to the needy. Despite this the effort is like a drop in the ocean.

In cities though, the leaves are replaced by plastic waste and egg cartons. Winter, I have always felt, is harsh on the poor. 🙂

Years ago, my husband was stationed in Thailand. He said it was the same way there. When the cold weather came, many perished. It’s so sad. ❤
