Poem Artwork


Pulled this way and that
by the wind's indecision
of which way to blow -
Nature playing tug - of - war,
adopting me  as the rope ...

Interesting Karla. Even being the rope is something we should not take for granted, meaning that even being the rope is a gift some will never get.
Stay well, *Glen*

This is quite a piece! Has me laughing and remembering times when I wore a shirt, and the wind whipped it this way and that, while trying to present a picture of sedateness [me that is].

God bless you. Kathy

Hwy...was right there today. I looked toward the Tampa skyline and there were teo huge thunderheads growing like a cyclops. Then I looked towards Plant City and it was sky blue with nary a cloud. I think Mother Nature has multiple personalities at times.
Love and blessings,
Susan
