The Wind

January 19th 2007 07:13
: ...poetry...
Progress Report on the demise of Thinking...Stand up and take a bow Dunc Fletcher, you and the others who keep choosing the Light Brigade to battle a War. Cricket fans have stones to throw. If you want to win the World Cup, get serious with your selections or bloody well step down. It's time to enlist the Charge of the Talent Brigade...


The Wind

the wind moves through

park trees
shudder at the touch of the faceless rider
bend to his will
sound to each other
in leaf-song and young branch creak
that the rider is upon them
he draws attention to the bones

beneath my flesh
i forget the rider
summon my will
from obscurity
to the top of the descent
leading to a creek

to notice the thistles
have lost their flowers

Great poem. As usual, you have a gift for picking the right words, and evoking an atmosphere.
