About This Poem

Through Her Fingers

Her strong demeanor
Is present in her great stare
Strands of flowing hair
Flowing straight through her fingers
Playing in powerful wind


Russell Sivey

    I wonder what she is looking at, or should that be who? Has that flick of mystery that nibbles at my mind and I'd love to solve the mystery. A real nice one to enjoy Rusty! :)
