Notes About The Poem

Date written: 03/22/2016

Listen to poem:

The Roaming Autumn Wind

The ever-present

          Autumn wind

     Roams outside my door

Sometimes with 

     A thunderous roar

          Sometimes with 

               A faint whisper

               Stirring trees

                    Twirling dead leaves 

                    Of red and gold

               Each morning, we greet

          At the door

     Or at the window

Soothing winds

     I gleefully welcome in

          Winds that make me shiver 

               Will continue 

                       To roam outside
