The Sound of Wind that Has No Time

Inspired by The Sound of the Wind written by Edgar Allan Poe located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Brisk brisk it marches through each corner astir astir it breathes

Cultivating a pattern it clicks clicks a finger as it turns a corner

Impatience rings its thoughts leave me be for I the sound of the wind that has no time request it again and again

Bye bye it runs runs keep up if you can for I have turned a page

Unmanageable it shakes its hair whom are you to stop me? Revising the thought again I have no time says the wind

Rushing here there it envelops all in embrace and says see you again when I slow down
