Thar She Blows - For Contest

THAR SHE BLOWS I saw the evidence of the existence of the “wind” today, rippling through running remnants of Autumn’s aftermath, playing a timpani on the chords of crisp clinking limbs, holding the hawk in hover, playing with the kites of billowing plastic bags, ruffling the feathers of the stoic Owl, teasing the cat with the laughter of playful leaves, leaning on the old wooden fence. I have seen the evidence of its existence yet I have never seen the wind. 3/17/2016 submitted to – Elements Part 2: WIND – Poetry contest sponsor – Brian Davey

Thanks Andrea always nice to hear from you. I have used this line of "reasoning" to torment my children and grandchildren and then watched as they sprung it on their classmates.
