Ample Frame by ~Smaz:iconSmaz:



I stagger through the stratosphere of peppered falling leaves, desperately trying to rip the babies from their mothers and make them mine. I was never a baby, myself. As far as I can recall, I have always been old... yet it is only the youth that ever plays with me. Summer time is my least favourite time of the year; halting heat scorches my rhythm, ceasing my malicious cause. In Summer, I can only be forgiving. Even the meadows of buzzing bees and emerald orchards mellow my waves. The only joy I ever receive is from the blowing down of the rusted forts of the homeless 'houses'. Hm.

It's not easy being the wind.

Author's Comments

This was something I wrote in one of my Creative Writing classes in, literally, a few minutes. I rather liked how it turned out, so I decided to cut the last sentence out and upload it on here. One particular phrase of the last sentence was lost, however, which I deemed to be an interesting description for the actual 'wind' this poem is supposed to be... and thus, I turned it into this piece's title.

The point was that it was to leave the reader guessing on what kind of nasty being this was, until the very end, where it is revealed to be the very wind, itself. I really wanted to portray the harshness of the wind in this piece.

Where did I get the idea from? Well, we had to look at one of five paintings and literally write whatever came into our heads. Thus, I created a short, open, poem. No special form, this time, folks.
