James Inman Poet Rictameter

Falling For You

To you
the wind whispered
through the old blue shack, words
too soft for meaning, as Yew limbs
scratched answers against the window.  In the 
distance a lone ewe bayed in its  
lost mourning, when heaven's
breath blew my heart 
to you.

And the homophones are fun, too :) James Inman March 22, 2016 at 7:13 AM Thanks for the great comment Timothy.
