Restless Wind Poem by Linda Ori

Restless Wind

Rating: 5.0


There is a known phenomenon,
A universal state,
When everything's turned upside down
And dumped upon your plate;

You run around in circles,
Your mind is out of sync,
Completely out of balance
And it's driving you to drink!

The natives call it 'restless wind'
I can't recall the name -
It's totally frustrating
And probably to blame

For my lack of creativity,
My pen has long gone dry -
I hit my head against the wall
So hard it makes me cry;

Now that's a bit unsettling,
It's time to get a grip -
There must be something I can write
Straight-shooting from the hip;

Nothing too incredible,
Something short and sweet
Might be just the ticket now
To stand me on my feet;

So.......... OK, Frank, I get the point
Not good to sit and stew -
Instead I'll get off my dead butt
And write this poem for you!


Thanks for the boost, Frankie J. I needed that!

Linda this is a wonderful piece - honest, clever, unselfconscious and rhythmical. You hold up your poetic mirror for the rest of us to see ourselves. Don't know what he said, but goodonya Mr. Ryan for inspiring this. love, Allie xxxx
