An untamed wind lifts up the skirts of trees, shaking them like wet-wash some old woman pins toward the sunlight. It shrieks like silly, adolescent girls. It bends sound away from the ear. Its breath is not nice, is laced with ice, unrelenting. This devil wind, it pushes all the clouds out of the sky so they can lie about the coming winter - mimicking the lamb of spring, concealing the bloody jaws of cold, drear, forever death. "A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water..." Eleanor Rooevelt |

PoetLady~ 'An untamed wind lifts up the skirts of trees, shaking them like wet-wash some old woman pins toward the sunlight.' The imagery jumps off the screen ... WONDERFULLY REFRESHING ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
