Audrey Haick Poet Rhyme

North Wind

Why does the North wind howl? 
Can you see how she wears a scowl?
She moves with speed amongst naked trees
Searching with squinting eyes that she may see
Way past glistening snow melting 
Beneath bright sun rays blinding

Why does the North wind howl?
Can you see how she wears a scowl?
Running wild, like a banshee screaming 
Screeching loudly as her anger is seething
Finally, exhausted she pleads with soft sighs
With quiet whispers says her good byes


She Howls tonight! And you may hear
 her if you listen...ssshh
