It's a Windy Day

Blossom floats down from cherry trees pink confetti drifts on the breeze it’s windblown Storm clouds gathering all around blustery gales turn the sails round of windmills Riding the surf board standing tall crest a wave trying not to fall windsurfers Jan Allison 22nd November 2014 Sponsor Nette Onclaud Contest: Fire, Earth, Wind Chosen Word: Wind Syllables checked with How Many Syllables counter ~awarded 5th place~

Hi Jan, Great construct here. It is right on the money. Yes, they do look like confetti. Nice selection of words and delicate meaning. I would have given you a #1 but I'm biased, but putting that aside, you should have gotten a higher score here. Have a nice evening. Earl

Jan, I don't think it matters at all if the verses are completely unified or not. this is really nice. My favorite is the middle one. I don't know why, just the sound of it. should do just fine in the contest. soupmail.

Well done, Jan. You tackled this the right way; using a windy day as a topic you were able to give three different flashes that are united and separate at the same time. I expect this to do well. hugs // paul

I replied on your comment again paul - I think the opposite - yours required more skill!Thanks for the comment:-) Hugs Jan xx
