Empty~ (Trifecta)


Trifecta Writing
 
Trifecta wanted a poem this week. 








She screams into an empty field
of wayward wheat--
no one hears the sound.

Dissolved against a backdrop
of skies bigger than
life,
she breathes in
moments, like stardust
to begin again,
refreshed.

  1. There have been many days where I want to stand in a wide open field screaming out my frustrations and aggravations. I love your imagery.

  4. Sometimes it feels really good to scream like that. My mother in law brings on screams like that,especially on days like today when I would like to wring her neck. Ha!

  6. I'll see your wayward wheat (love it!) and raise it with Cook Inlet's waves. My angst and despair are often shouted into the spray windblown from our little piece of the Pacific.

    1. "call" ;-) I am too far from the water's edge, but close enough to the fields. Though I suppose I could be near the river's edge with little trouble.

  8. I like this. I wish I have some wayward wheat to scream at sometimes. It might be a beeter therapy than yelling at wayward children. :-))

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed it Fireblossom. I think if the wheat hears it, then it's safe to scream at it because it will never tell ;-)

  14. I was a screamer as a kid. I would just go out back and scream. Our nearest neighbor was a mile away. One day, they called and asked if I was dying or something. Mom made me stop screaming after that.

  16. I connected to this one today - I had a lot on my mind this weekend and even though I manged to walk several miles I couldn't quite get out of my own head. I found my stride this morning, and little by little today, I've started breathing in again.

    1. I am glad to see that you are on the calming side of that trend. I am getting there myself. The day I wrote this I was reminded that my head can be a dangerous place to go alone ;-)
