The wind isn’t
very good yard help,
she sweeps the leaves there,
and then here, and then there.
Most days she works hard
but never cleans a damn thing;
I’d hire the moon, but
he only does windows.

thats cute
I like the way you read your own poetry.
The rain was trying to clean things up around here last night, but now I can't rake my leaves! The moon can do my windows anytime, though. Fun one, Pat!
wow! love this one!
and it's interesting that you address the wind as a "she" and the moon as a "he"... in slovenian, the objects have genders, and the wind is masculine whereas the moon can be either, though the feminine version is more common.
Great Stuff -
this one just made me smile and laugh and realize the leaves don't really need to go anywhere except wherever they go... ah the fun of having "help".
Pat, that was marvelous! She's been at work outside the house all day! I'll think of this when I see the moon tonight.
I loved hearing you read this! You have a warm voice on this chill autumn day.
Send the moon round to my place, Pat. It'd be nice to see out of my windows for a change ... ;-)
More, more!....

For some reason, I could not leave a comment on Between The Lines Passé, so I'll post it here: Terrific. And so great to hear your voice.
