Michelle Smith Poet Personification

Based on a Robert Frost poem

I, a window-flower,

and he, a winter breeze,
carrying along the birds,
the butterflies, and bees

Quiet strength's my power

putting chipmunks at ease--
munching seeds, without words
looking at me, to tease

Thinking I did cower--

--the day-- I did not seize
the breeze went with cow herds
(forsook for milk and cheese!!)

Silpika Kalita March 20, 2024 at 12:33 AM In memoriam of Robert Frost. Exactly personified the way it should be. Your poems were soup mailed to me long back. Yet was not able to review as was away from the site from a long time. Have a blessed day ! Michelle Smith March 20, 2024 at 1:17 PM Thanks! Have you read Robert Frost's Window Flower poem? It is pretty bittersweet! :O Glad you found these now. You too -- blessings :D

Sam Kauffman March 5, 2024 at 11:02 AM Such an unique, and interesting, poem, Michelle! Best wishes for the contest! Blessings! Michelle Smith March 5, 2024 at 12:51 PM Thanks :D (the original poem by Robert Frost is even better! Mine sounds silly cuz I was trying to include the contest elements in the limited format space) ;)
