A Whisper Of Wind

Just a little something

 

 

A whisper of wind

is nature expressing

the importance of humanity.

 

So stop the roar of gossip

and deafening selfishness

before a hurricane

becomes the only means to an end.

Too often people wrap themselves up in gossip, and indeed cause a storm with their lies and falseness....it can be very ugly.
But your words make it sound like a softer event, and not quite so harsh. Perhaps with enough warning, people will cease to stir the storms up and be content in truth.

I really like this piece. I think the shortness works very well. You really made me think. I like when a piece makes me read it more than once, and yours did here. My only issue with this is that the title is repeated in the first line. I would suggest either using the title itself at the first line, then beginning the poem with "is nature expressing", or finding a new title.

Amen to that, brother!

I got a brother that talks like a hurricane, only part is he doesn't know when to shut up,lol. Such a short poem with a powerful message, some are better like this. In a few days Washington D.C. will have a hurricane of deafening crowds descend upon the capital steps.

Excellent. Sometimes I think people love to run others down to make themselves feel superior... Maybe we're all guilty from time to time. Great last line. Kinda a blow to the chops, but so very true.

. point driven at point blank range ... so point taken ... powerfully poetic ...

Gossip is a very sad and ugly thing. It's sad because after many years I think I realized one thing.. that would be that most people no longer know how to socialize. Capitalizing on another's distress is even more disgusting. This starts with low self-esteem and the need to be better (or appear to know more) in some way than another. It's bullying through and through.. and incredibly shallow! Great words of advice in a simple writing that is a very complex issue that's hard to stamp out.

Much said in such short verse about the gentle breezes of life being beaten into the tragic winds of discontent by those who suffer from the shortage of life skills such as being able to know when to mind your own business. Appreciate how you have so aptly stated the case against gossip.

Nice thoughtful words here.
