Sneeze

by A Victim of Fate   Feb 4, 2008


So slowly the wind lazily calls the trees to play,
Shaking their leaves teasingly,
It carries with it the smell of the autumn day,
And wondrous messages for the trees to see.
They are so carefree like I wish to be.

The wind notices me and my book,
Sitting there peacefully,
So they come closer to take another look,
Stroking up and over my knee,
Stirring the cup that holds my tea.

"No," I told the wind,
"Go back to playing with the trees,
For and vicious itch your hand does send,
I think I am going to sneeze!
Just go away I beg of you please."

But the wind doesn't listen,
Pulling the pages of my book till I loose my place,
So I close my book and tears a glisten,
Running vertically down my face,
I close the book in haste.

"Go away." I say yet again,
"Before I sneeze and blow you away,
For there's no way you can win,
No matter what you say,
For I will jump from here I lay."

The tickling sensation gets stronger and I try to sniff it back,
So that I won't hurt the wind or the trees,
I try oh so hard to put my sneeze in a sack,
Try to not sneeze,
Oh man oh man oh jeez.

A-AA-AAA-AAAA-AAAACHHHHHOOOOOO!
The wind no longer ruffles my hair,
I see a sky so blue,
I didn't even know it was there,
I think I feel the wind's glare...

    Very nicely written. I think I have ressted by the same tree when i was young. I have to say that I really like your poem. I think that the nature section of this site has to be where one can find really wonderfully written poems. They arent old and dull like so may other love poems Im sure even mine fall into that category once in awhile. I found your work very interesting. Keep up the good words and may all your writings bring you peace.
