A Series of Poetry from 'Gone with the Wind'

by gingersnapperr

Poetry written for one of my favorite movies and my absolute favorite book, Gone with the Wind.

1. Gone

Gone. Everything is gone.

The wind blows, taking the sands of my homeland with it.

My husband, my child, my family, gone.

Gone. Everything is gone.

…

Gone. Everything is gone.

Charred land that was once beautiful, luscious.

Gone.

…

Gone. Everything is gone.

My love, whom I never knew I did, has left me.

My sister, gone. My closest friend, gone.

Everything is gone.

…

Gone. Everything is gone.

My life was once beautiful.

My life was once wealthy.

My life was once everything.

Gone. Just gone.

…

Gone. Everything is gone.

Gone with the wind.
