Carrie Richards Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Gone Are the Winds But Long Live the Words

~	
Heavy in the wind,
was sound of a phrase-
Rhett Butler's curse word   ~
blew open the door
to eminent change
                                            ~
The dialogue 
withstood critics
who could not keep
that door bolted                                  ~

A strong wind               ~          ~
swept away      ~
old values

Filth caved
in the

door
            ~                 ~
