To Live the Wind's Joy

“The wind rides in solitude In her diaphanous delight. Her skirts brush eternity To gather the stars of night.” Forever the stars she gathers will magically move in the sky. Their dance is the style of Glitter-bug as they shimmy till morning is nigh. The man in the moon watches them. You’ll see how brightly he glows to see those shimmying stars on nights when his full face he shows. And we, the witnessing earthlings, whose eyes on the night’s sky gaze, can more than just view the beauty of nature’s most wondrous ways. We also can live the wind’s joy as her skirts among the stars twirl, for her talents extend to valleys and hills. Over all the world she can whirl. Poets, look up to the heavens. With imagination embrace the dance of the stars in the heavens while feeling the wind on your face. May 5, 2021 (using Stanza 4 given by Joseph May for my first stanza) For Joseph May's Choose Your Form Poetry Contest For the 'ALL YOURS (JUN 1)' Poetry Contest of Brian Strand

Delightful write Andrea. I don't think he wants you to break up the stanza--so you did it right. All given prompts I found are lovely.
