wind dreams

Naught but a billowed vagabond
A breeze longing to shriek
Soar on an eagle’s up draft
Plunge, predator-like, to earth
Riffle the grasses as I pursue
The limitations of my fate

The wind being compared to a vagabond is so apt and poetic. As the breeze gains momentum, it becomes a shrieking wind or storm. It also shuffles the grass. With this short poem, you have proved your prowess as a poet, dear John.

An energetic and inviting poem that seems to lift the reader skyward. I'm sending smiles.

The wind actually is a vagabond. Giving thought to its initiator, direction, velocity. Too deep? It’s flighty… pardon my pun. Excellent drafting, John. ;-)
