Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

In Awe of the Wind

You whine and whistle, ghostlike, when you round
		the corner of my cottage in the cove.
		You sweetly soothe or taunt and terrify.
		No one on Earth dictates where you will rove.
		
		A menacing marauder or a mild,
		melodious, mysterious delight,
		you play your part in nature to the hilt--
		just heard and felt, not subject to man's sight.
