Wind

Wind

A Poem by K.

Twirling twisting under over

Looping back again

Pulling pushing with such force

It breaks the backs of men

 

It rises up and pushes down

The force laughs in your face

Tilt your head and grit your teeth

Keep your feet in place

 

Careless ease and snarky pressure

Poisoning your ken

Stamping out your hopeful flames

Never dream again

 

You have the strength, push it back

It will only slow your pace

Fight it hard with all your rage

But don’t forget your grace

Interesting concept you have going here. I think you may have to tweak the ending at some stage. Maybe leave it for a while ;)

It could mean several things. Like it.

the final two lines really make this poem great. it feels floaty lofty and all over the place which is not a bad thing. i like it a lot.

"Fight it hard with all your rage
But don’t forget your grace"


Lovely line, I think in these two lines alone you summarized the whol poem. Word choice in this is nice, and well thoughtout. Not too simplistic or cliche. Over all, well written.
:D
