poetry: windy

look away
as I blow madly
through your words
rustling assumptions
shifting pride
bending anger
I’m bigger than before
buffeted by light
swaying sideways
not a delicate breeze
I’m a woman

Thank you so much, Tom. It’s hard to learn to speak your mind and still remain kind. I’m still learning.

A bit more dramatic than I normally am, but I hope it worked for you. Thank you.

Bridgette. This poem tells me of a soul who has been through a storm , they have come out of the other end, learning from their experience, they have now become the person they wanted to be and are reconized at last.blow them all to one side for l am what l am ☺️🤗 regards to all

Thank you for these kind words. I’m still learning and after writing this poem yesterday I got into a terrible argument with a long-time friend. I was my worse self and I realized how much I still need to learn.
