Thoughts
By Viola I. Paradise
 
From “Weather Whims”

QUICKSILVER thoughts
Flirt with me these spring days;
Flit through my head,
Slip through my fingers;
Teasing, vanish        5

But if I were a poet
I’d know a trick to catch them!
I’d catch them with a spirit noose….
 
And then I’d let the wild things go.        10
