Just a Passing Wind

I can just see the clouds riding along the wind breaking formation, watch a tornado spin Lifting up houses, then throwing them down destroying each structure, there is to be found smashing and crashing around But then all the swirling just disappears leaving some thankful and other's in tears vowing to rebuild, although it'll take years and hoping that everyone's found It's just Mother Nature playing around Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do Down in the keys, the wind seems more friendly It fills up my sails, makes my boat ride the seas But then there's a season, the wind starts to roar we board up our windows, nail shut every door Hurricanes, you can't ignore After a while, the mighty wind seem to cease Humidity rises and so does the heat searching for water and something to eat Hoping that soon it'll be found It's just Mother Nature playing around Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do Up there in the mountains, the air is so crisp the breeze is so gentle, like Moms kiss on your lips and then your informed, there's a fire alight Sierra winds, have gotten strong over night Some choose to stay or take flight But then the wind calms and the rain starts to fall to wash away memories, ashes and all It's time to rebuild, should be finished by fall I'm beginning to like how that sounds It's just Mother nature playing around Dodo dodo do Dodo dodo do

I enjoyed your take on the wind in this creative poem, Jerry. From the wind of a tornado to hurricane winds, you described the scenes so well!

You go Jerry - what a wonderful wind blowing this evening! The imagery is magnificent, i.e. "like Mom's kiss on your lips" - so beautiful! I expect to see this highly placed on the winners list! Excellent write, my friend and a 7! Pandita
