After Last Night's Winds Poem by Glen Kappy
After Last Night's Winds
from "While Passing Through"/Spring
After last night's winds
elm branches—in first dawn glimpse—
droop so limp, so still.
elm branches—droop so limp, so still. - - - - - - - - - what a perfect image! Thus proving that brevity is a fantastic tool in the poet's bag of tricks. Enjoyed this piece of work!
thanks, susan. haiku is a great form for keeping it to basics, to suggesting much with little. blessings! -glen
It's nice to see the stillness despite the evidence of chaos (wind) . Spring brings hope for renewal, less wind, and more beauty and...GREEN leaves! We had the weirdest weather day ever yesterday here in MN...we had high winds, intense heavy wet snow, sleet, rain, thunder and lightening. I'm graving warmth and stillness. Thanks for sharing your poem.
And thank you for reading and commenting, Pamela. This poem was written in a brief respite from two days of crazy winds, the highest clocking over 50 mph. Glad those days are passed. I’m hoping to see some sunshine today, and it’s supposed to warm up again over the next few days. Be well! Glen
Spring is mysterious and lat night's glimpse is beautifully seen. This is an excellelnt poem beautifully penned.10

The poem depicts beautiful contrast. The storm when comes, comes with power and strength. When goes, leaves behind limps and droops.
exactly, aniruddha. after all the noise, including the wind's thrashing of the trees that tells us of the violent movement outside, the eerie calm of a morning like this is striking, and the aspect of the trees suggests exhaustion. thank you for your comment. have a good week! -glen
