Wind

I have blown by the rock of Gibraltar and whispered to the waves of the sea I have heard the dolphins laughter as I travel ever free I have been to the highest mountain Cause I journey far and wide I am here in every season From me you cannot hide In summer I will gently caress your face But in winter I'll be fierce I'll be there in spring's embrace In autumn, the leaves I'll chase 8-26-2023

This is such a clever creation...the personification of wind...Joseph. I liked how you rhymed Gibraltar with laughter. You captured the ubiquitous presence of wind in its soft and fierce form so well. Best wishes in the contest. God bless... ~ Ani

Oh wow i have pretty much literally heard the dolphins laugh, .. swimming with dolphins is a beautiful experience and your personification made me think of that. Wind, is everywhere, wind sees everything and feels and hears so much the rest of us cant. What a creative and profound write this is. Im inspired to do a personification now . Love this

The wind: invisible, yet; its presence can be seen and felt. Truly amazing ! This is beautiful, seasonal and spiritual, all at the same time. My best to you, Joseph. :) Hugs, Brandy
