listen To The Wind

Listen to the wind:
it roars, it murmurs,
righteously chants -- 
In gusty breaths, exhales, rants, 
tempestuously pants. 
             In tyrants it wails -- 
             tearing sleeves 
             and billowing sails. 
It reddens, it pales 
the ruddy faces of non compliant seamen
and blithering, pompous beached whales. 

Perhaps this poem, too hastily sown
Should have read the rules
before breeze and blown 
and not so far from the guidelines would 
this pen have wont to roam. But in hindsight, 
wind stirs in many out of main focus ways
blossoms beyond bordered-grid of a well centered garden
in orphaned airs, for some, yet, may glisten their sways --

You have created music with the use of alliterative and jingling words. Yes, wind is at once soothing and tempestuous. It rants and chants. It changes its face every now and then. Indeed a beautiful poem.

A powerful rant that blows fast as the reader gasps its intensity trying to keep up. I'm okay, it didn't exhaust me. Thoroughly enjoyed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
