A Gentle Breeze

It begins as a gentle breeze that rustles the leaves with its touch. Scurrying through the tops of trees, it begins as a gentle breeze. Not enough to discourage bees, it is only brisk; it isn't much. It begins as a gentle breeze that rustles the leaves with its touch. It is only brisk; it isn't much, until that breeze begins to gust. And yet, birds still escape its clutch; it is only brisk; it isn't much. It topples garbage cans and such, gathering up a cloud of dust. It is only brisk; it isn't much, until that breeze begins to gust. Gathering up a cloud of dust, that soon blocks the Sun's sullied light. And proceeds, with increasing thrust; gathering up a cloud of dust. When the sky turns orangey rust, twirling tornadoes evoke fright. Gathering up a cloud of dust, that soon blocks the Sun's sullied light. Twirling tornadoes evoke fright, with debris flying through the air. Morphing into objects of might, twirling tornadoes evoke fright. Finding cover, we hang on tight, for flying shrapnel packs a scare. Twirling tornadoes evoke fright, with debris flying through the air.

Wow, Emile! A perfect description of the wind's power and how it builds up and up 'til you have a full-blown hurricane and living here in Louisiana I've experienced it first hand. Excellent poem!

A 7-plus, Emile! I love how the progression in this expertly-written poem parallels the progression in nature from a breeze to a raging wind storm! Great poem Janice
