I
like
the way
that my hand
moves through its flow
watching it spin and twist
with the leaves and the dust
becoming a part of that tornadic eddy
captured in minature style along the city sidewalk
as the sun betrays time by deigning to shine
on a day when clouds should be seen
and when nature should be asleep
it becomes a part of me
and I flow with it
spinning around in time
until I am
one with
the
sky

Now you went and did it....Threw a curve
at us....

Imagine that!! And the shape of the poem,
like that miniature tornado...

Nicely done, Sir Sven...

Clever spin on this...quite unique Sven...I love the windblown effect--

a nice surprise. Yanno? This reminded me of being a kid, and holding my hand outside the car window, testing the force...

yep!

I've always been this way!

Nice Job with this one. Enjoyed much.
