A Big BlowA Poem by SorenOne day, far away, the wind began to blow Though it didn’t last long, it was so strong, the river upstream did flow Backward bound, the mill unground flour into wheat Blown out of the ground. post holes were found rolling by my feet They only stopped, when they popped, so I put them in the pocket of my shirt But without their stuffing, they’re good for nothing, they won’t even hold dirt Flying around, parallel to the ground the rain struck a cliff made of shale It soon did make, a vertical lake held in place by the force of the gale Then with all it’s might, the wind bent the light, at right angles I was told Though still bright, the beam of my flashlight, buckles at its fold With nails I pined, the edges of the wind, so it couldn’t get away Now I rent the gale, to those who want to sail, up til this very day © 2022 Soren |
