Notes About The Poem

A Formidable force

The Wind howls in solitude, unstoppable, in Her might. And brushing the scenery, She dusts off the stars at night. Her sensual, tactile touch; offering pleasure and death. She whistles through the treetops; fluttering leaves with Her breath. Invisible: She ferries dandelion tufts aloft. And reacts to Nature's whim; with a storm, or gentle waft. She is the weaver of clouds yet scatters them all astray. She's a formidable force; with considerable sway. A salty sailor's mistress and the godmother of kites. She is like a playful friend: who tickles, and sometimes, bites.

Beautiful writing, Emile. So true, but today I was having lunch in the park because it was such a glorious day. A gust of wind came up and blew my french fries away! I salvaged my cheeseburger, tho. Such lovely images you have employed.

Hello Emile, I like this beautiful poem. i see the wind as a small fully cloud with a face blowing his heart out. Sometimes gently some strongly. You never know with the wind how it will be. Enjoy your day my friend.
