Perhaps, If In Whirlwinds [Nonet]

by The Queen   Feb 24, 2013


At times, I wish, my thoughts could travel
like a twirling coiled rope of wind
inside tornadoes and spouts
perhaps, if in whirlwinds
you, would learn to love
a troubled man
not by looks
nor the
dime.

**Author's note: plese read "coiled" as one syllable.

    I'm glad you put the footnote of coiled as 1, because to me it's 2 and it threw me off until I paced it the way you intended lol.

    I love your Nonet. I hate writing them, they're difficult for me because the closing just, isn't easy.. but you aced it. I thought it had a dramatic but seriously thoughtful ending.

    I also liked the use of twirl and soon after whirlwind.. they internal rhyme was fun to mirror back. I like little things like that ;)
