This makes me think of the time when men memorized stories and sung them to keep the messages alive since no one knew how to write yet. They used poetic devices, particularly end rhyme and alliteration as memorization tools. I'm impressed by your choice of breaks and images.

Sorry to be so behind. I'm still sticking to my New Years resolution to answer ALL my reviews though. :))
Wow. I'm honored. This was a tough challenge for our little Saturday deal. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this. I was surprised I was able to come up with it. I've learned a lot here and a lot has sunk in and comes naturally now which is most cool. :)) Thank you, mikey

This is my favorite 'wind' poem of the night. Seems like several poets/authors have struggled a bit with this theme. Which is cool. This challenge seems to have been a greater than average challenge. Here, you've not only met it, but whipped it like a misbehaving donkey. Hehe.
Fabulous!

Hi, Robyn
HAHAHA! A mishehaving donkey. Do they ever behave? This was a tough topic. I did two. On the first one I actually stared at the screen for a couple minutes. I've NEVER done that in my life. A scary feeling. HAHAHA! Well, glad you liked this. Sorry to be so late in responding. Thanks so much, mikey

Michael, I like both of your offerings, but for beauty of presentation, I like the first one, but for magic in the words I like this one. I am still hurting so bad, that I cannot make my head wrap around the concept for this. Patricia

It's an insanely tough topic, Patricia. We all had a tough time with it. But, wow, some great work came out of it eventually.
Limericks this week, should be fun. I hope your feeling better. Sorry to be so slow in responding, got way behind. Almost caught up.
Here's our little add for Saturday:
The Poetry Potlatch is coming up again. This week it's a Limerick suite. When you hear the word "limerick" you probably think bawdy, sexy, dirty, etc. But NOT THIS TIME. We want you to use limerick form for each stanza, with a minimum of three stanzas, to create a poem about the topic that will be given this coming Saturday April 9th at 6:00 PM New York City time. Phyllis Stewart has graciously agreed to once again provide us with the theme. Look forward to seeing you there. :))

Your free verse poem is very interesting and well written. I enjoyed reading it.
That was not an easy topic! I'm amazed that any of you were able to post anything in an hour.
Great work mikey. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. All the best.

It was a difficult topic. But, yep, everyone eventually came up with something pretty cool or even better. Glad you liked mine. Thanks so much. mikey Limericks this week. I know, you've heard. LOL

Mikey, I really enjoyed how you use the wind as a carriage that took all that made up your tribe's existence; its spirit, it's ancestry, and their stories away, never to return . Beautiful!

Hi, Patti
Geez, I got so buried. Sorry to be so slow in responding especially to this wonderful review. I'm still smiling from reading it a week ago. LOL Thank you so much. We're doing limericks this Saturday for our challenge. Hope you can make it. Here's our shameless plug.
