Wind Song

Weeping willows as scarecrows dance,
                                    tumbleweed runs like in a trance
                                               when windblown.

                                   A gentle breeze brings many joys;
                                soon fear is wrought when it destroys,
                                                 as windstorms

                                    raging war cries loud are spoken,
                                    stately trees are bent and broken 
                                                from windblasts.

You did very well with this compound word contest, Brenda. Like Jan you broke it up into three separate parts. I struggled more, trying to have one whole structure for the same subject. I love your 1st stanza best. #7 // paul
