Whether Or Not

It's a poem on what-ifs.

If I could be weather

What kind of weather

Would I want to be?

I’d like to be the wind

Fresh off the sea…

That’s what I’d like to be

I could lift kid’s kites

To dizzying heights

Make them as proud as could be

I could tousle the hair

Of maidens so fair

Be playful as I could be

Or rend the leaves from the trees

Let them ride on my breeze

A pleasure for both them and me

But then I think of the snow

That the cold North winds blow

I begin to reconsider what I want to be

Perhaps better t’would be

Sunny days and slight morning haze

Mist o’er bog or fog upon sea

So many options and ways (Oh me!)

But by nature I’m simply capricious

Love weather and winds both warm and raw

Sooo, I’m not sure whether I would (or should) wish

…To even be weather at all!..

Light, airy and teasing - just like a cool breeze. I found this both thoughtful and amusing. Well done.

If I could be weather I would be snow because I imagine it's very n-ICE! Ba dum tss! :D My jokes, not unlike my poems, are very bad..chuckle.

I really enjoyed your poem, and I love the lines..I could tousle the hair, Of maidens so fair, Be playful as I could be.
