Can you feel that?...
Listen. Take it in. Breathe... The wind, that's what.
Can you hear the fluency of the
freedom in it's speeches?
Can you feel the sensation that lingers on every part of your body that it slowly
touches?
Close your eyes, clear your mind. Can your feel
it's sweet caress?
The life in it's ceremonial dance
on your face.
Yes, the breeze comes to life at
night.
It breathes under the silver moonlight.
Feel it blow and whisper.
Let it sink, inner and deeper.
Let it flow through your soul,
your heart and mind.
Because tonight, I'm like the wind,
Carefree and lawless.
Laden with charm and
tenderness.
Let me surround your existance.
Let me in, let me through, just
this once.
I really liked the way this made me feel as if I were being led in a meditation...a lesson in being, and feeling. When I came to
"Because tonight, I'm like the wind, "
it was magical! As if opening my eyes from feeling the wind as seeing its personification. This was an experience!

Beautiful. It does not matter the amount of time it takes to write, what matters is sharing what is inside you. I think the wind blew through your soul and heart to your hands and became this poem.
I am stunned by the beauty, the innovation, of this poem and then you say you wrote it in less than a minute. Uh-oh, I think my writing skills are in serious trouble then. It will definitely take me longer than a minute to review it but I shall give it a try. I love the conversational angle. My favorite line might be--- Let me surround your existence.... But there are so many lines I like... The life in its ceremonial dance on your face...
Personification is indeed a powerful motif and here you are able to use it effectively. with more time and restructuring of stanzas and tempo this could be a great piece.
Not bad for a poem written under a minute!!

in addition the ellipsis at the very beginning is terrifically poignant. very good
Beautiful imagery and beautifully written. Well done! It was eloquent yet concise, elegant and sweet. Unique format, but it flowed brilliantly. Very nicely written.
