Flustery
blustery
Irksome
titchy
and itchy
It puts me OFF
It
sets me on EDGE
MARCH
WIND ~ howling, hollow, horrendous
My thoughts scattered like the leaves and plastic bags and
bits of trash
lifted up,
swirled
around, ripped apart
deposited
I cannot think
My
eyes blink too much
I yawn and yawn
Exhaustion
settles over me, embracing me in its python grip
my limbs are numb, leaden
I am drained
slightly
irritable
confused
and directionless
What’s that you say? Compose? Write?
OUT
OF THE QUESTION.
Wobbly,
flobbly
out of order, out of sorts
out of luck
WINDY WINDY….. wind
I’ll try again tomorrow.
Quote – well, actually – poem of the day:
Who has seen
the wind?
Neither I nor
you:
But when the
leaves hang trembling,
The wind is
passing through.
Who has seen
the wind?
Neither you
nor I:
But when the
trees bow down their heads,
The wind is
passing by.
~Christina
Rossetti
The image of the python squeezing out your energy was great. Also how your thoughts were scattered like the leaves, etc. Cool use of text placement at the beginning with the wind letters all over the page.
