Wind Song

Wind Song

Winter winds whoosh over the wilderness
In wild waltzes that warn of wanton storms.

On zephyr’s wings spring floats through soft breezes
Soft touch on tender petals
Feels like silk on bare skin.

Happy whirlwinds swish through summer skies
Tickles the face of waves in sheer delight
Laughs with puffy clouds in summer’s malaise
Rises with crimson dawns then stargazes 

fall winds breathe brisk breaths
 turns the morning mist to frost ~
  draughts foretell chinooks

Whenever I see a Sam poem title with the word "Song" in it, I know it's going to be a good day! Love your musetry (musical poetry) my friend, winter waltzing offstage and spring zephyrs zephing in softly "like silk on bare skin". All the seasons have their own unique wind moving the clouds and weather to their appointed destinations, and your delightful depictions and alluring alliterations are music to my ears. Springtime blessings dear friend! A Fav...

Thank you John! Knowing that this "musetry" brought you joy in words and song is a great blessing and makes my heart do a little Snoopy suppertime dance! I loved this combination of poetic forms. It seemed to open a new spring of creativity - refreshing as spring rain itself! And, yes, the winds in each season do seem to have their own personality - strong, joyful, playful and giddy - and function. I love that we share the musetry of song! That's a great word, BTW, combining music and poetry guided by the "muse." Sending back springtime blessings of Resurrection dear friend!
