    Poem Commentary

    kept it simple. :) A Tuanortsa is a free verse form that reads forward and backwards— line by line. The form starts and ends with the title of the poem. So the opening line and the closing line are the same line. It can have different meanings depending on the direction that the poem is read (mine doesn't really - hehe).I am the wind vane

    I am the wind vane (Tuanortsa)

     I am the wind vane
    I wait upon you wind
    To turn-
    You are my energy.
    I need what you give
    To be me -
    I am the wind vane.

    I am the wind vane
    To be me
    I need what you give:
    You are my energy.
    To turn
    I wait upon you wind.
    I am the wind vane.
