Subdued

reworked this one

Lonely dust devil sweeping along this road of dirt,

you are driven by this southern waft. Ruffling feathers

as you pass, disturbing a roadrunner from her nest.

Pleasant wind your breath is spring, chasing away

that wayward wind of winter. Subduing it in your

subtle splendor; freeing up the Robin’s song and

now we’ll see the crappie run and the sun shines

both brighter and grander.

yes, this is Oklahoma, luv it.
We have a family of roadrunners that have made their home here at our place.
Such peculiar creatures. They follow me as I am mowing on the riding lawn mower, search for grasshoppers etc. Love this little bit. And Im loving our weather now.

Great work..!!!

Nice imagery! I can see, hear and feel the wind, roadrunner and Robin.

[Forest Green]

Moments nicely captured...how quickly the slip away.

In the words of Leon Russell "Dusty Oklahoma was all I ever knew...." Robins, roadrunners and dust-devils....no that's a vision.

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

This is good! In Spanish, dust devils are called "Tormenta". I hail from the Southwest, and your poem brought back pleasant images in my memory. Not quite Spring here in Alaska. Thank you.

I see the seasons are changing in Oklahoma OK. I was in touch all the way along and loved it! I have to ask from my watching post on this side of the Atlantic, what is a "crappie Run?" It has odd meanings in the UK!
