THE WIND BLOWS

Michael Edwards

 

                                            THE WIND BLOWS                                                 

 

The wind blows outside.

It rarely blows in our house.

We do not like it.

We do not often eat beans.

Beans prove wind can be broken.

    Sorry Michael, love the drawing better than the poem, even though the poem is really good!

    • Michael Edwards

      Yes not one of my best but wanted to write in Tanka style which is a bit restrictive.

    • Louis Gibbs

    • orchidee

      Toot? That's more to do with a car horn in the UK, I think! I shall have to swoon - bit windy! lol.

      • Michael Edwards

        Or trump - also an apt name for an obnoxious airbag.

      • Erinna

        Great fun. It reminded me of 'Silly Verse for Kids' by Spike Milligan.

        • Michael Edwards

          Ah Spike - I guess you are a Brit - despite his acclaim I still feel he was underrated as a (silly) poet. I love his:

          The boy stood on the burning deck when all but he had fled
          Twit!

          • Erinna

            He had a very quirky sense of humour. On his gravestone is the inscription ' I told you I was ill' - he certainly had the last laugh, as we over the pond say!

            Very funny
