    I wrote this on one of the stormy days last week. Please give me your opinion

    Thanks

    Green bins silently scream for help
    Their innards divulged so crudely
    Gulls become illusionists, defying gravity
    Skirt liffs, underwear displayed rudely

    Cyclists fight against invisible forces
    On the path is that Marcel Marceau?
    Ten steps it takes to move a yard
    Ten thousand more he has to go

    Are they playing hide and seek at the stop?
    Is it perhaps the driver’s birthday?
    So when he stops to pick up two
    Ten jump out “Hip hip hooray”

    Yesterday’s news can still be read
    Through the air I see it flutter
    Plastic bottles cascade rapidly
    Sweet wrappers shelter along the gutter

    Clouds cannot come to a shared decision
    On a commonality of direction
    A Willow bends but does not break
    Like an old man’s half-hearted genuflection

    Cocooned inside my warm cabin
    My windy day looks so bizarre
    As if the world outside is off its head
    Sanity only found inside my car
