    34 dreamers
    shuffle down wintry streets.
    The wind can't whistle out
    our candle.

    so don't worry about the form? the best part of this one is capturing the connection between "dreamers" and the "candle" at the end. It is interesting the #34 and I wonder at its significance, or whether it is random. I also was surprised at "our" candle (singular) which made me think there is something the 34 share in common, some dream they share. wintery could be interpreted as some hardship. sound definitely in the shuffling and the whistling wind. nice.

    Thanks for he constructive feedback. "Candle" was a typo but I like it better so I deleted the "all" at the top of that line.
    34 is the group of us that held a candlelight vigil/walk to highlight our support for peace and communal harmony rather than the mass call for violence against Pakistan and anti-Muslim fever in the face of the terrorist attacks here in India. So there's the dream and there's the hardship.
