Morning brought another gloomy, hot day
I dressed up mechanically, as this was mundane
Impatiently thrusting half-burnt toast down my throat
I reached for the daily with my fork
As it always happens
I found nothing of interest
Except for the page last but one
Where was something new to learn
It was the horoscope for the day
I must confess, I am obsessed
The only column, that for some time
Keeps me engaged
It said I must be careful today
For someone may entice me with charm
But it would be short-lived
And it can cause harm
So, if possible I must stay indoors
Reluctantly I picked up my satchel and stepped out
Bracing myself for the mishap profound
Missing the only thing to notice
The Scorching sun had a moment of doubt
As it was overshadowed by a patch of cloud
As I trotted towards my workplace
I was hit by a magical waft
For it was more than a draft
As it took me to trance
That sweet earthy fragrance!
showering me with nostalgic love
Suddenly the boredom was shoved
aside
For I pranced with delight
As it tickled me from all sides
I couldn’t resist the temptation for long
For my heart just found a soulful song
My horoscope said it right
I felt light and no longer bored
Who can be,
once they are charmed by this darling, naughty petrichor!
