words with no spellings

I long for the word
never written
no typer ever typed
in the whole world of words

word hound am I --

conjurer of meanings

when dogwoods
bloom--cold winds blow
same with blackberry’s
wind --

on wind,
words with no spellings

only meanings
of wind.

Anna,

"Now, you’ll have to hold me like a Geisha." What an erotic proposition, Anna. Thanks for reading. Ciao, Victor

Isn’t that sumthin’?

Isn't that sumthin'? How words, no matter how they are spelled can serve to divide and conquer or to evoke some beauty in a far-off land? How do we listen to the wind? Thank you for writing this poem. Namaste, Anna

Anna,

"How do we listen to the wind?" By being silent. Namaste, Victor
