Nobody Knows. Poem by J.A McManus

Nobody Knows.

Rating: 4.9


No one can tell me
Nobody knows
Where the wind comes from
Or where the wind goes

No one can tell me
Nobody knows
Where the wind carries
The white winter snows

No one can tell me
Nobody knows
What the wind whispers
To black feathered crows

No one can tell me
Nobody knows
Where the wind comes from
Or where the wind blows.

Nice and simple John, Choose a riddle without an answer and you have perpetual motion, you could have taken this another 10 stanzas but you have the genius of Youth to know just when to stop. Not like some of us Olde Worlde Guys who just ramble on and on in love with the sound of our own prose (Me Included) +10 Kind Regards Philip

This is a thoroughly enchanting read. It has all the musicality and underlying sweetness of something by A A Milne. There are many unnecessary words cluttering up this poetry site. How refreshing to read something like this. Bravo! Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The jaunty rhyme and rhythm of the form belies (enhances even) the deeper rationale of the subject matter - a real pleasure to read. S :)

Short and simple. It almost makes me look at it as a kind of playful riddle that's just personal opinion not sure I can explain my reaons why I think that.
