An Ill Wind Poem by David Harris

Fascinating that the proverb written in the 16th century should still be recognizable today. And what a fine subject for a poem. There's no doubt about you David, you can turn 'anything' into a poem. I guess it's because you have a sensitivity to every moment and an abiding interest in sharing your world. Incidentally, re your title, it was Thomas Beecham, I think, who made the comment (in relation to blowing the French horn, which is fiendishly difficult to play) - 'the wind that nobody blows good'. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This is one of my favorite metaphors which you have made the theme of your poem. It is too bad we can't just see them coming, eh? (smile)
