a bruise mars back of my right hand lack of coordination’s brand because the wind seduced me into joyous dance music beckoned, promised romance I responded to siren call should I have known that I would fall? purple blotch darkens tender skin and pain radiates from within feeling the wind feet had the lightness of my heart I slipped around a hot dog cart enjoyed pirouette of pretend as I whirled blithely with the wind then clumsy step gave bulging knot I howled and yelled, whimpered a lot because the wind blew my hair right across my eyes blinded, I didn’t realize that my next sway would bring my hand whacking against a garbage can I shuffled off, my lack of grace put me back firmly in my place in awe of wind |

May I kiss the hand of the fair maiden, to quell the pain and lighten the heart? Tiss a sadness to see such beauty harmed. Hope you get better soon. Love, Tracey. |

Oww! I bet that hurt. I must concur with Tracey... but, if one starts slightly further up... it doesn't actually take away the pain... it just takes your mind off it for a while. Nicely whimsical penning, Milady. D. |

pirouette! Ha ha I loved this because it reminded of the one I did coming out of Bennigin's with my husband one day. The wind threw a curve and I went with it off the bottom step. I twriled and saved a fall to the applause of few bystanders. I almost felt I should have taken a bow. LOL late. |

PS: I would have been scared if I'd been inside a place threatening to disintegrate on me. *S* But I was outside and the sun was shining, the sky so blue it pierced my soul... and the wind wanted a playmate. *G* Thank you so very much... I'm treasuring that "gorgeous!" *S* Ah, sweet Tracey... *graciously extending hand*... my mother always swore a kiss made booboos better. *G* And your response definitely lightened my heart... thank you! *S* Windhover: I like your ideas for thought diversion! *S* Thank you so much, gallant sir! *S* late: I think your "dance" was much more graceful... and you SHOULD have taken a bow! *S* This isn't the first time I've let my insanity loose in public... /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=44&topic=003312 (and probably won't be the last. LOL) I'm glad you enjoyed... thank you! *s* Magnus!! It's great to see you, my friend... and I'm honored you gave me your first post back! Thank you so much! *S* And... since this is a confessing type poem, I'll admit... a couple of margaritas bought both numb and a silly grin. LOL Muah! Welcome back! *S* Eloise: I wish I was... Wyoming is beautiful... much more so than city streets! *S* Thank you so much! *S* |
