John Lawless Poet Free verse

The Wind Chortled

The wind chortled
Just passing through
Teasing the ripples to white tips
Swaying trees twerked in her gusts
Hawks shrieked on a roller coaster down draft
Sunning turtles watched the duck down fly
Dragonflies didn’t

Suzette Richards June 21, 2025 at 9:25 AM Love the last line best! Next: swaying trees twerked ... Lol best metaphor I read in a long while. Not forgetting the play on the words "down".
