Storming Off: Minute 1

I often wonder if she knows
Which way she goes
Before she starts
The path she charts

And is it really all a front?
Not to be blunt
Putting on airs
Like we should care

But then sometimes, she adds a twist
Like a clenched fist
A bitter kiss
I’d rather miss

A Minute poem: 3 stanzas of 8a/4a/4b/4b, etc., in iambic meter

Yeah, we stay put ourselves too. Tornadoes (twist/clenched fist) are a bit spooky around here when they happen!
