The Wind

O, Wind, how evil you are!
You’re deceitful, a bully, and a pervert!
How you make people tremble in the cold days of winter!
How rude of you to blow in a calm sensation before the storm!
How you blow up under young women’s dresses
And play around with their skirts!
At times you can be kind,
But rarely on a hot day.
Sometimes you make the air even hotter
By slipping in a hot gust
And making all of us sweat out
Our ice cream and cool drinks
Through smoldering pores.
Wind, I don’t like you.
But I have to deal.
You are what make the world go around.

Shanda, this reminds me of one summer night. The wind was howling at my window forcibly. Awe, it felt as if evil wanted in... eww.. I'm getting goosebumps remembering that night. I had to wake my fiance up. And, tell him something was not right.. moments later we took off to the nearest town. Well, not all winds are bad. I love the hot gust at my dads. Something tells me, tranquility begins at my parents ranch... Enjoying your write... LINDA
