Notes About The Poem

Listen To the Wind-Nursery Rhyme

The wind is blowing, the clouds are floating,
And the green trees flutter all the day long.
Sails are ready, it's a fine day for boating,
In orange sunshine, birds are singing a song.

Can you hear the wind, whistling a happy tune,
And making the tallest trees shiver and shake?
Or dancing in a garden, with flowers of June?
But when the wind is dying, a sighing it makes.

Can you hear it howling, whenever it is angry,
And people have to run fast after their hats?
Then it blows softly again, in a passing fancy,
And crimson butterflies play with curious cats!

Absolutely enchanting, Evelyn, filled with your signature nod to color. If your poems didn't have "color" references, it just wouldn't be an Evelyn poem! Also love your choice of the wind for a theme! Congratulations on your win!
