The winds of spring made the wind chimes sing As flowers bloomed anew The bells on the chimes began to ring And bird songs soon ensued Wind chimes played right along As summer breeze blew through the trees Now they blew a mellow song To set the soul at ease As butterflies fluttered along garden walls Which with gnarly vines were clad There came a hint of the winds of fall And the wind chimes song grew sad Then winter came, its song to claim And the wind chimes sounds were shrill As things began to freeze on window panes The wind chimes song grew still - 8-21-18

Ahh!! Enjoyed reading your work. The windchimes can really give us an idea of what is going on outside. Creative to use human emotion referring to them. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. Sara

that was such a clever idea doing them by the season, Joseph. Loved the ending one , how you did it for winter! I was thinking as I read it, hmmm, it's not free verse. But maybe you can do it in free verse after all and still enter the contest with this idea.

Thank you Andrea, I didn't realize it was free verse until I tried to enter it, I think I will leave it as is..Hugs
