Unnamed God's of the Winds

Unnamed God’s Of The Winds

Ethereal unseeing creatures drink up the feathery winds
Immortals, ancient gods, ride on the backs of clouds
Smoke them like cigarettes unfiltered 
Rise invisible to drink the sky and everything in it
Once rain fills them up they turn to fog
Another unnamed god
Filling up the bodies of the wind 
Fog clouds empty again as rain 
They come down just the same as puffs of smoke
Solid winds are stronger on the storm
Dragged down by water falls then drowned
You can feel them on the skin between the drops
Falling through the atmosphere

Hi Jan, Thank you for commenting on my illegal poem. I broke all the rules but I feel good. I knew at best I was shooting for a HM, In some circles that stands for "Homogenized Milk." It sounds healthy. Take care. Earl

Hi Dr. Mehta. Thank you so much. I really did not want to enter this contest. I'm glad I did. I do not like to write about "gods." I am happy to have an HM in light of the fact that I did not follow the rules. Congratulations on your excellent poem and win. Happy New Year. Earl

Hi Kayod5, Thank you so much. I'm lucky that I got the HM rating. I purposely did not follow the rules. I do not like to write about "gods." I wrote about winds instead. Notice the title, "Unnamed gods." That is correct. They remain unnamed. Shadow had mercy on me. Have a great day and a Happy New Year. Earl

Hi Shadow, Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I did stray from the gods idea. I hope you enjoyed my wind creation. Thank you for giving me the HM consideration. Happy New Year. Earl

Hi Casarah, Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Nature is not as natural as it looks but it sure is a lot of fun. I liked playing with it and some of the words that help to explain it and move it along on a gentle breeze. I hope you have a wonderful and fun filled holiday season and a very Merry Christmas. Take care, Earl

Hi Brenda, Thank you so much, I almost did not enter this contest as I do not endorse false gods. I purposely approached the contest from a different angle. I simply treated the wind as the wind and the way it interacts with water as rain and storm and other natural elements. Have a wonderful day and a Merry Merry Christmas. Take care. Earl
