I listen to the wind


 I’ll be out and about when suddenly 

a line will enter my mind and whisper

then a few moments later the second 

line will arrive. By that time I’ve usually

ceased from the task at hand and I’m 

getting them down before the third

and the forth enter. It’s then the process

slows to less spontaneous effort and

it’s when the word winds have settled 

that the sonnet or even the second 

couplet comes to fruition.

But I’m most grateful through the years

of being given this inner start.
