A breeze blows into the room through the window screen
Causing the hairs on my arms to stand on end
and the goosebumps to form on my bare legs
But did this breeze ask if it could enter unanounced and stir up the cold in me?
No!
And despite the feelings I try to supress, I can't shake the fustration that's rising
The 'whys'
I'm sick of shivering
I slam the window shut
Causing the silence without the whispering wind to be deafening

Nice poem!

I like the way you seem to have made the wind represent something...

Yes kid some things enter unwanted, it seems our feelings have no bearing on the matter, the only way to stop it is to quickly shut it out.
I like this poem very much.

Oh Joy I loved this, it can be interperated so many ways, unseen prescense, the wind??  Great work and as with all things in life if it is unwelcome we close the window or door.
Great work!  

 I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Thanks fractal, Joel, and Isis.  It felt good after I wrote this seeing as how I was suffering from a bad case of writer's block.  It's good to be back on the sadle of poetry. lol.

writer's block comes to all of us, it's simply a time of renewing, because a true poet is never blocked......
I loved the analogy....
