Still Spinning

by Melissa   Jan 11, 2011


A wild wind blew,
it caught me
with its many hands,
and dared my skirt to twirl

and I, so easily captivated
by spry air
gave way to possibility,
and became a single petal
lost to your whirl-
a strange flower,
flitting about recklessly
in some violent gust

what a mess you've made
of my trust

    I love this poem! i love the word choice (As usual) and I reallly loveeeeee
    LOVe the way you had this amazing easy flow..
    just few suggestions which u can ignore as you know:P

    A wild wind blew,
    ^^I suggest you to take
    off the A..plus add a semicolon rather than a comma like.. better for the flow..as I read it.

    Wild wind blew;
    it caught me
    with its many hands,
    and dared my skirt to twirl

    (read and compare..if you think i am senseless then fine :P haha)

    and I, so easily captivated
    ^^ better to take off the and..
    already used it 2 times after this one
    and taking this one off is the best option
    cause they all fit :/ and are not really replaceable like this one

    by spry air
    gave way to possibility,

    ^^gave way to possib...how
    well thought of! you manage your thoughts
    so perfectly !!

    and became a single petal
    lost to your whirl-
    ^^^this was aamazinggg..I love the harmony I find in the strong connection between your line and words...
    makes the poem very strong and hits home well..even if we can't really relate.

    a strange flower,
    flitting about recklessly
    in some violent gust
    ^^^althought I felt violent gust
    was unneeded since it kind of
    reword wild wind..but damn that was such
    a usage..colorful poetry!

    what a mess you've made
    of my trust

    ^^^
    in no way did I expect you to end your poem by that !! trust..yay..i was like seeking something about confidence at 1st and the ending was rather shocking and that's something reallly amazing..

    geeeee for you!

    5/5
