Windy Day at the Lake (imagery workshop)

windy day at Cooper's lake
a wind storm takes shape
dark clouds spin tornadoes
across clear blue water

a picture on my cellphone
running for the basement door
my dress tail caught a draft
I parachuted safe inside

Although you...

didn't label your work as being Kinetic, I can see that is what it is. I can just see you with your dress puffed full of air, slowly drifting down to safety. Nice job! ~ Gee

Hi Barb

There's a bit of visual here also but it doesn't detract from the poem. Staying with only one type is not as easy as it first appears is it? lol..........stan

yes i agree

Just kenetic is not so easy just as you said.
I just figure a little visual with lots of motion
Would still work
glad it works .

yes i could have but

Why torture my brain a few more days lol. Just that it is truly hard to stick to just one senses without some of the other senses being there.

Dear Barbara.

Great jpb on kenetics! I could NOT have done as well. Loved this:

a picture on my cellphone
running for the basement door
my dress tail caught a draft
I parachuted safe inside
