Outside they bicker ,inside loudly fan blades flicker.
Ever new constant breze,keeps me cool.
I stare over it;and I wonder at the endless,endless,blue.

Pack my bags a holiday date due.
And I wonder at the endless endless blue.
Bladed spin caught up in a corrupt,wind whirling din.

Spined air,can resonate ,the commotion outside overpowers.
There`s a push at the door,to my final hour?
And I wonder at the endless,endless,blue.

A gun in my hand ,dead body on the deck.
I throw the fan,and I wonder at the endless endless blue
Grease ball vigilantes eye balling after my neck.

And I wonder at the endless,endless blue.
Appeal looks good ,give justice a place to view.
remiss of a fan ,in a cell for something I didn`t do.

I don't know what the exercise was, but this is a superbly compact tale; I especially like the recurring 'endles, endless blue'. Nice one.

Best,

Mike

Like Mike, I don't know what the exercise was but I really liked the powerful distraction of the blue... the storyline almost becomes subservient until you get to the last line.

Interesting piece Patrick

Thanks Mike and Red,for your coments.The stipulation(roughly speaking)on the poem is that the central theme is that of a fan in the middle of a room,and the poem contains the words "and I wonder at the endless,endless, blue."
Should be no more than 5 stanza`s of three lines,and contain the above line.

Loved the first line... also 'bladed spin caught up in a corrupt, wind whirling din', really loved it. Enjoyed the rest, though I'm still confused about what actually happened... are you sure you didn't do it???

Hi Lawrenco

I like this dark (bit humerous maybe?) tale wrapped up in poem. I have not seen the exercise.

Critiques...

Spell check (yeah I know I do the same thing).. breze, breeze? spined spinned(?)...

You know you once told me not to over punctuate and let the natural flow of the poem come through. This is what I felt for this piece.. too much punctuation. Don't know if you agree? But it does have its lovely natural flow and pause that I thought did not need so many commas etc.
