Bluster

Wind
begins
with the small
tinkle outside
my door from wind chimes
hung just to capture the
beginning of a bluster
then roars to a point where it seems
those chimes will fall from their peg to go
far away with this fierce force blowing on.

Nice use of personification for convey your thoughts in this poem. We know well those fierce winds in North Dakota, especially with our -30 temps as of late. Keep warm! Keep on writing too! Karen

Love wind chimes too! Hey, maybe you should enter this in the Many Voices of the Wind Contest! Just a thought, if you haven't already. I know what you mean, sometimes I wonder how they don't fall apart in the mighty gusts and get blown away forever. Beautiful write. I love this form. Love, Shar

I love the sound of wind chimes, both when the wind is gentle and when it's blustery. In fact, that sound is one of my favorite sounds in the whole world and it soothes my soul. I love your poem that captures that feeling. If this is for the contest, good luck, and I hope your New Year is a wonderful one! ~Juliane
