What is lost to the wind

What is lost to the wind

 

 

I cry

for what is lost

to the wind

for it can never return

from whence

it came

To me, the goal of a very short poem is to pack it with meaning, based on how a ton of possibilities are unleashed in the reader’s mind. Your poem is the poster child for doing just that. It’s not just words on the page, but ideas spawned by your words, which creates a much longer piece of consideration. A very creative way to say that we must keep going onward in life! *sigh!* There are no do-overs, I guess! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I get a little philosophical in the passing of another birthday. I was quite content with the brevity...so thrilled you enjoyed it, my cancerian friend! (((Hugs)))

Happy Belated Birthday Kelly :-)

and the wind will bring a sweet breath of freshness and as the tears go with the wind so does the joys come with it..i love this.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Cassie!

[Crowley]

Whipcrack short but still full of purpose and clarity. I love you shorties!!!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Brevity in a poem seems to come more natural to me. I am thrilled you enjoyed this one, Crowley!

[Kay]

This is powerful. I've read it over a few times now and still get that same punch of sadness through the imagery, that feeling of loss and inability to rewind.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I love your analogy on this, Kay. Thank you so much!

[Ken Simm.]

Simple, short but full of meaning, of pathos and direction. Excellent.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Much obliged, Ken!

[Wesley]

Wonderful poetry. Thank you for my first review. Made my day.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Wesley! ...and welcome to the WC!

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

Powerful... you truly write with precision.

[Lyn Anderson]

Lovely thought, expression, and presentation. There are things that come back again ...

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was thinking more about the leaves that the trees must let go of. Thank you for the warmth your words bring me today!

[Lyn Anderson]

You are very welcome

[DianneR]

The simplicity of your words is really beautiful. I feel it reads like something out of Emily Dickinson's prose.

[Kelly Scheppers]

You've made my week making such a comparison. Thank you, Dianne!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Pretty. But all things must pass. I always said I won't go out like a fading flower but like an autumn leaf; burning brightest before my fall. But even leaves are moved by the wind. I enjoyed the read.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I loved your analogy here, Fabian. Thank you for giving me food for thought!

[Ben Taylor]

Succinct and to the point; I find myself re-reading this, filling in the blank space on the page with my own regrets.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for that, Ben. I'm glad it spoke to you!
