puddles on the ground,
scatter my reflection,
breaking mirrors,
100 years bad luck

Thunder, thunder in the sky,
why do you follow me
just tell me why
my own gray cloud,
It follows me,
reflects my personality

was it the ocean,
following behind?
subtle shadows,
none darker than me.

Sometimes it seems as if I have grown roots,
all the way around this world,
none go inside,
all of me so far above the earth,
stuck in the sky,
I'm cursed.

Just to tell you. I am not depressed.

Never be normal!

Wind, you are not cursed! You just have a magnetic personality and are attracting all the elements!

Great write!

great write, kinda sad, and I'm glad you said you aren't depressed, because that's what I would have thought.

The calm of your poetry
sits in large contrast
to your website personality.

The thing about growing up is
both of those will level out.

I enjoy watching your words grow.

Wind, I'm going to keep this one. Love that opening puddle reflection. Outstanding imagery and metaphor.

This is quite a powerful piece and very well written.
You have so much talent and I always enjoy your work.
