I like how you changed "ahead of" to "behind." It makes all the difference. "Wilding wind" is great, too!

I sneezed while reading this. I, too, liked the little change. Clever.

Kristy Worden said...

Ha! encircled by gloom? I think those nasty ragweed REVEL in their pollen dresses (just kidding, I like the picture too...)

Lovely, all of it! But I especially loved 'dressed in bright pollen'.

'wilding wind'

I enjoy reading seldom used words or expression in poetry, and knowing exactly what they mean (to me) and this is a stellar example to me.

Very fun to read and savor.

And then I had a sneezing fit followed by two weeks of sinus headaches...

I love the imagery here. Not many poems so good they make you sneeze.

narrating poem. Specially the bending giving in to wild wind.

Beautiful :)

Once I realized "ahead" had switched to "behind," it all made very poetic sense. The subtle change completes it for me. Nicely done.

I agree with ThomG, because it just made me want to hold my nose while reading it. I also like the art work.
