Analysis of What a Windy Day
Jasmin Jay 2004 (Riverside California)
met a man
he called me lover
moved away
his heart grew farther
called him twice
texted him thrice
even emailed his sister
he's like the wind now
feelings blown away
drifting towards another
oh how his heart can sway
WAIT!
he's texted me!
It's been a year!
and finally, it's here!
its.....
a question
a query
a plead
he's asking for advice
about the breeze
that took him to his knees...
