What a fantastic write..

"Sick of the short sighted
views, the biased and bigoted
rants that grace my ears,
let the wind carry them far away"

really enjoyed this stanza, very easy to relate with . Often i wish for the very same thing. Great job!

Steve,

A very beautiful write, one I can relate to.
In nature we can find great comfort, when life gets us down.
Welcome back:)

Take care,

Ingrid

This is a poem that flows flawlessly into my weary heart
Written as from a master poet

Steve
Congrats on the win for this awesome write :) Excellent job!!
Love and hugs Cindy

Ah yes only if it could. Well done.

I thought the flow was off in the first stanza as 2 lines are rather long...

^and haunts me like a spectre^
I prefer when a line does not begin with and.

Aside from that, I loved your word choice and the poem holds great meaning. Wonderful use of metaphors. A job well done and a deserving win!!!

Wonderful topic n a clear n nice poem.... Keep it up

Yes that would be nice..to be carried away by the wind and leave behind all those unwanted problems and pains. a soulful write. Take care

I loved reading this. I could also feel the wind on my face,,calm and soothing.. taking away the "emcumbrances" of this life you speak of. Life does feel a "drudgery" at times , and we want to escape from it all. When I feel this there is no better way than getting in touch with mother nature.. and letting her ease our troubles away. A brilliant poem.

The world must turn
So we see the sun rise

Don't let the clouds
Always fill your eyes
