The Wind is a Peanut


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

I want to make the
wind wobble

to watch it squirm
from where
I sit

whistling and whoosing
sounds resonating.

I want to capture
its essence
to feel the magic

against my face
warm at times
each season

competing for my
attention.

I want to chew into
the meat
like a mouthful

of peanuts

savouring
tasting
scent teasing from

the wind I call
upon.

Wow, I've been missing some great work whilst I was away from visiting this website ;-)

Another beautiful poem, Richard, you obviously have a deep connection to nature ;-)

A well deserved cherry.

Nathan.

Hi Nathan, better late than never for thanking you for your nice comments. For some reason I am not being notified by ABC when any comments are made on my work. So I have to peruse them from time to time. Cheers, from Richard LP

Do you use your track button Richard on your profile page? That's the easiest way to keep up with the comments.
