Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Blown About in the Wind

It'd taken root in desert sands
a cactus that never bloomed
for in its past a secret loomed...
struck down as justice demands

Left to blow about in the wind,
detached from what was real
no guilt or remorse did it feel...
just a vagabond who had sinned

Tania Kitchin June 6, 2026 at 7:17 AM Lin, a great poem. There are those who still " feel no guilt or remorse" yet continue to steal from others. A vagabond who drifts from site to site escaping the reality of their sins. Lin Lane June 6, 2026 at 8:00 AM Exactly, Tania. Once again the guilty plays the victim.

Frederic Parker June 5, 2026 at 2:23 PM I felt the sting of the wind when I was a vagabond and a sinner, now just reflections that quickly pass Lin Lane June 5, 2026 at 4:34 PM Frederic, from those vagabond years are the wonderful lines you write. I hope you never stop reflecting.

Connie Pachecho June 5, 2026 at 12:46 PM Lin, one would be surprised what a scirocco uncovers. Today I came across the word "it'd." Which I had to look up because I haven't seen the word used by writers that often. Thanks for sharing. Lin Lane June 5, 2026 at 1:03 PM Haha. I tend to write what comes to mind. I sometimes use the word ‘titch’ which to me means a little bit.

Kim Rodrigues June 5, 2026 at 11:50 AM Nice metaphor! Lin Lane June 5, 2026 at 1:02 PM Thanks for that comment, Kim.
