| The Inspiration: I was at school, playing guitar outside, when a bird landed right near me. It was a pretty windy day and out of nowhere came a very strong, very cold wind. Cold enough to make me shudder. It was actually from the northwest I think, but I had to fit the meter of the poem. ^_^ Subsequently, the bird just up and flew what was definitely directly south. Enjoy the warm weather down there, birdie. -Chris |
