Song of the Wind

to make once tranquil bliss astir -
together, we would join the fray -
a tumult tango beckoned her.

Fandango spin upon the seas
where tempests tease a tropic storm.
What once was born a peaceful breeze

Craig, congratulations on your win in Tania's contest! What a wonderful personification of the wind - an imp dancing the fandango with power and mischief. I love your whimsical wind teasing waves and misbehaving in delightful alliteration! This is so much fun and so reflective of your seaside relationship with a seaside wind! I truly can relate as I grew up, and still reside, near the water! High fives for this pure delight! Easter season blessings to you!

You wind is even in meter, which is impressive, imagine a metered wind, I guess it would be like a refreshing breeze.. Nice choice of words here like Fandango and the light alliteration in the last line..

Dear craigs, this sounds so lyrical like a beautiful song, something about the way you phrase lines emanate a beat as i read, in such captivating cadence: absolutely gorgeous, love the seamless flow of alliterations and picturesque lines so well articulated: “What once was born a peaceful breeze now grows in yield - now comes the swarm.” This hits the deepest for me. Every poem you is so evocative. Best wishes if this is for a contest: pleasure reading your work. Always
