The wind's blowing
so hard with its intention
to knock me down,
causing me to sway
so flower like, planting
my feet like a flower's
roots in the Earth.
I sway and sway
so wildly I could
float up and
travel in the wind
like a lonesome seed.
But no matter
how frigid air violently
nibbles at my skin,
no matter how frail
my bones become
from use and abuse,
I will not tumble and fall!
You, wind, will
never make me fall like
snow, melting from
the caress of the warm
breeze, then gone
and forgotten
within the moist
soil.
What do you think of my poem?
I can follow the imagery and it follows through. You personify the wind and I see metaphors for your life. you stand resolute before opposition. finally you address the wind and tame it to your purpose.
