A Small Poem
Poem without a name

I can be the breeze caressing your ear.
I can be the storm you might terribly fear.

I can be the dusk dimming the light.
I can be the dawn chasing away the night.

I can be the wave carrying you home.
I can be the forest you might want to roam.

I can be the cave providing some shelter.
I can be the maze producing much helter-skelter.

I can be the fire warming your hand.
I can be the snow melting at your command.

I can be the passion giving you fever.
I can be the rest, a good stress reliever.

I can be the roadster making you faster.
I can be the clunker, your very own disaster.

I can be sweet, innocent like a child.
I can be young, almost grown-up, erratically wild.

I can be old, so contented and free.
If you´re either a friend or a lover for me;
Being by my side will be a good place to be!




P.S.
Hi. *wink* I´m new to this English forum because I would like to share my own poems with you (and maybe my sexy short stories as well *nachdenk*).
If there are any mistakes, I´m *sorry* . Look forward to receiving your feedback if you like. I am not a native speaker...so please be gentle. *liebguck*

@*********nwood You're a talented writer. I really enjoyed reading your poem. Do you write often?!
The English is very good. Not sure what a clunker is?? 🥸

According to my holy bible (the Oxford Dictionary *lach* ), a clunker is an old vehicle or a machine in bad condition.
(German equivalent could be: Schrottkiste, Rostlaube, Karre, Gurke etc. *zwinker* )

Actually I´m not sure if this might probably rather be a term in American English as my friend from England somehow didn't know the word either. *gruebel*

I use the Oxford, too, and the BBC English Dictionary by HarperCollins and Lagenscheidts Handwörterbuch Englisch in addition. There is also a very good online dictionary called Linguee. Together, they make for a most useful source for english translations.

The stylistic means of repetition in your poem, which has a somewhat percussive effect, reminds me of Hemingway. You can frequently find it in his early prose, particularly in conjunction with the famous "Hemingway-And".

The meter is consistent and the rhymes are catchy. Well done! Thank you. Your alias is great! It suits your artistic endeavours.
