The Wind

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The wind

I am standing by your side. But you do not see me? I don't know the reason why. I am the wind that blows through your hair. Yet I whisper, and you don't hear. I am the robin sitting in the tree. Just look up, and you will see me. I touch my finger on your sweet lips. But I don't feel it. So I sit and look into your pretty blue eyes and think, Am I alive? Please let me kiss you on the cheek just one more time. Then tell me you feel it. So I won't run and hide. I guess I have to wait for you to arrive. I'm not sure I can, and I don't know the reason why.

    Positive and Enthusiastic Feedback:
    I absolutely loved reading your poem, "The Wind"! The emotions conveyed through your words are palpable, and I was drawn in from the very first line. Your use of imagery to depict the wind blowing through hair, the robin sitting in the tree, and the touch on the sweet lips was so vivid; it made me feel like I was experiencing those moments myself. Your choice of words is beautiful and evocative, creating a sense of longing and a yearning for connection.

    Improvement Suggestions:
    While your poem is already captivating, I have a few suggestions to further enhance its impact. Consider incorporating some more descriptive details about the surroundings or the speaker in order to create a more immersive experience for the reader. This will help us better understand the speaker's emotions and the relationship between the two characters. Additionally, you could experiment with varying the rhythm or rhyme scheme to add a musical element to your poem. This can further amplify the emotions and make the poem even more engaging. Overall, your poem is wonderful, and by exploring these suggestions, you have the opportunity to make it even more powerful. Keep up the great work!
