Talk To The Wind (poem)

From dVerse and Sanaa inviting to write a poem in a Maggie Smith conversational style

Talk to the Wind

I talk to the wind that listens in selfish wispy drafts

only to float away

with other interests

 

I watch it disappear away from my page

personified 

remnants then

in their

seasons passed

 

Cold clear crisp electric   

Fall musty ochre sunset

Hot haze happy shimmer 

Sprung earth new day  

 

I talk to them, these

remnants  

as they wisp back to reappear on my page 

In their lost season

landing to ask if they are still here

in my wind, to speak for them

if I can forgive them for leaving me

behind

but keep them alive

still

under my pen
