Torn Cloth and Cotton Sky

Inept, the mounting wind circles vacant arms
Spire upward, shivering in plea the sun
Catching tails of cotton veils, wrapped the kite
Seeking freedom from limbs; seeking warmth
Chuckle clouds, puffed and lithe
Humming to the chimes, their slow lilting smile
Plump across the blue gray sky, capping tree
Bravado wind, continuous in vigor
Slips an icy digit through the bodice lace
Sudden tears shake kite to relented dress
Footfalls below, crunch scattered clad now lost
Eyes up, glitter beams of yellow
Warm will the season cloak the cold
And fill the up stretched arms of change

Very sad, autumny piece, Kathleen. Full of vivid imagery speaking strongly of departures and starting over.  Strong work.

An incredibly profound write, dear Kathleen.

A poetic gem.

for a few seconds, I was almost convinced
that this was a democrat's way to peddle
the change of the country.......... but,
no way...the weather is blessing us with
all sorts of tidbids of "whazzup"...
