Kansas Scarecrow

My mood is dark, sultry
As passion plays my mind.
The summer storm is blowing in
So, I respond in kind.

Passions seek an outlet
No walls can it contain.
Catching the breeze upon her lips
She calls her lover’s name.

The winter winds return.
A chill is in the air.
The Kansas Scarecrow laughs in glee
And hasn’t got a care.

Her heart, ripped and tattered,
She curls up in a ball.
Seeking the warmth of fire
She tries to sort it all.

Thanks Chris, I had wrote 2 stanzas about 10 years ago and finished it up yesterday.

Really nice flow to this one Allison. It reads like a song. Beautifully done. I like the imagery it creates in the mind.
