The heartless wind

by Lenny   Aug 7, 2006


Terrific petals,
From the sky,
The towering branches,
Forlorn and alone,
Peace for those who ask,
And negates the need,
The bliss,
In sanctity is gone,
Terrific fuchsia,
Encircling weak,
The bud, the apron,
Hidden, protected,
Strong arms the foundation,
Torn but never break,
And heart is safe,
No loss of face,
But broken limbs,
Replaced,
Still as death,
But at a cost,
The calm, the calm,
She wills, and tests,
But not for long,
As one breaks through,
To dance and waltz,
The bloom, the burst,
Familiar fragrance,
Flits in the breeze,
And soon she wilts,
Strong arms fail,
Daughter is lost to suitor,
The wind breaks her,
Gentle fall,
And she rots,
Delicate demise,
And father cries,
Tears and lust create another,
And they all fall and die,
Proud father stands,
His daughters fallen,
And waits through the white,
The sleet, the fall,
And does it all again,
Terrific petals,
Embellish the sky,
And branches arc,
As father seals the fates,
Of his beautiful daughters,
And kneels to his match,
The heartless wind.

    You are the only person who keeps me thinking with your poems on a constinate basis. I like that. You throw in something to get you off track and make you read until you understand it. Great job. 5/5

    I read this once and gather that it's about the personification of nature, which you're so good at. I'd break this up into stanzas maybe, and also like the last poem, get rid of unnecessary punctuation. I think the lack of stanzas works to your credit a lot but in this particular one, (repeating myself) it may be more effective to break it up and allow each stanza to sink in.
