Duty Calls

Dark gray clouds amassed hidding red sunrise East gentle breeze bringing a storm at last Trees dance and sway with delighted surprise As the wind swishes swirls twirls right on past He tickles their fancy leaves quite fast Fickle wind blowing whispy swirling clouds That fly beneath white shell clouds that last Back and forth blocking sun's white glow like shroud Duty calls me forth to handle few tasks While the wind will tousle my shirt and hair Out in garden gathering but not bask In sun, for clouds cover that sun's flare Life of duty fulfilled, will there be folly? None knows_duty, fun, folly, finale', melancoly_____ Finis

Interesting ending to the fine write my friend! I really enjoyed the cleverness about your entire poem! The swirling of the wind was entrancing Sara! I fancy the incredible wind anyway so this write sure was lovely! Great Work!!
