QUESTIONS ON SUBTLE CHANGE

And the rooster who crowed the three o'clock chant of dawn?
Who shifted the compass needle of rainy days and days of sun,
To thread instead a motif of haphazard wind and dust?
Tell me! who.

ReplyDeleteAnother poem with questions! The mystery of the stars stays with us. I hope we never get the answers (and I agree, great opening line).
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your questions on subtle change, Gillena! I like the rainy sound effect of ‘slurped the stars’ and the ‘motif of haphazard wind and dust’. Such crazy changes in weather!
ReplyDeletean excellent question, Gillena, posed beautifully!
