Equality

sea breezes
have no interest
in 
political winds

staccato cicada chatter
pays no heed
to
chatty gossip

wild leeks
don't choose
the
soup of the day

if they could,
would anyone listen?

But Political winds are full of hot air. I'd rather listen to the cicada. Vince

Jim, This poem does have nice rythum....and a very interesting message. Thinking again here as always. Politics can make one feel helpless sometimes. Unless they're willing to get in there and scrap with the big dogs. We're all free to choose that. But I'd rather feel the ocean breeze and the hum of insects. The poor leek has no hope. If leek could talk, I'll bet she'd say, "Don't put me in any soup...I want babies....flowers and seeds..." LOL I'm getting carried away here...La La La. Dane
