BeautyScope 452: Stories on the wind


the car tyres whistling
on the road above
blend seamlessly
into she-oaks calling
stroking and caressing each other
telling their stories on the wind
the wheels yell and race
dashing about
then segue into a plane droning on
down near me the river laughs
and bulrushes snigger
with their rough rustle
then suddenly a warning note
from a bird sweeping by
...
I went for a walk
met no-one there
but everything spoke to me

  1. Ah - you have brilliantly captured the conversation and humour of the nature (as it “hides” beyond the roads)! Thanks.

  3. Just fantastic. You need to be publishing a book of your writing and photos. This is one of my favourites.

  5. Your poetry is so clever and evocative! I hear that wonderful conversation that nature allowed you to be party to! What would you say back to them!?
