Poem asiba writing competition 2022
THEME : AIR

If you had asked her,
she would have said she craved freedom,
this feeling of immensity that touched her
when the salty breeze brushed her hair
and caressed her soul.

If you had asked her
she would have told you
everything in the whole world,
and raised a toast to old time’s sake.

Her eyes were as glittering as the ocean she sailed
Her laugh as harmonious as the melody she had heard
Her heart grew warmer for each person she met.

She was as free as wind
Forceful as mistral, gentle as suroeste

Where the aria hushed, emerged a soft whisper

Johana Guérin
