A Talented Philanderer

A talented philanderer is Wind.
He often visits Meadow. He exhales.
Beneath his breath, her blades of grass are pinned.

When done with Meadow, then away he sails.
With Forest he has been so many nights!
Her trees’ limbs in late autumn he unveils.

Moaning, gyrating, Wind’s desire ignites
as Mother Nature swiftly he goes through.
Oh, many are the skilled Wind’s sweet delights.

But oh, what heights that Wind is taken to
when he decides to wend his way to Sea
where her enticing waters sparkle blue.

Her body rolls in ecstasy as he
comes gusting, lusting for her from aloft.
I think he is her fondest devotee.

Wind comes to me at times, but as a waft,
for I prefer caresses that are soft.

Wind's course is beautifully traced ! I like most, the wind over the seas ! "Her body rolls in ecstasy as he comes gusting, lusting for her from aloft. I think he is her fondest devotee." Lovely lines.....

Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. I enjoyed reading this one. He (the wind that winds) would definitely be known as a gigolo or promiscuous. Thank you for dropping by my page. Sara

You poetry is excellent, Andrea, this poem is so engaging. The passion expressed through the wind is thrilling. The imagery and intensity are moving. Great entry for the contest, and should be a POTD or POTW IMHO. Smiles ~ Hugs Bill

Sometimes the poetry takes us. Uses us and places us in times position of command. Tells the truth of itself being the thing it is. No translation is needed the reader just knows what the majority has read.
