Connie Marcum Wong Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Wind Songs

Romance me with your flirty breeze,
Susurrate songs in leafy trees.

March winds you clash with tidal flows,
Keep waves in hindered highs and lows.

Your power paves a mockery
Of gentleness I long to see.

Won't you return our springtime bliss
Caressing cheeks with tender kiss?

Don't make meek martyrs of the trees
When you uproot them as you please.

Training tornados torrid path
In tempest tears you display wrath,

When all along I know you hold
A sacred spirit of the bold.

So beguile me with tender touch
With wind songs that I love so much,

And I will be your maiden fair;
You may finger my golden hair.

On through autumn our love will grow,
With wayward windy hearts aglow.

Paul Callus May 20, 2016 at 2:32 PM Imagery, personification and alliteration...a beautiful mixture for a beautiful poem, Connie! I get on well with the wind, as long as it is not too strong, and it does have different songs and tunes! ~ Regards // paul Connie Marcum Wong May 20, 2016 at 6:16 PM Thank you Paul. Here in the islands the wind is essential or the humidity becomes intolerable. ; )

Timothy Hicks March 24, 2016 at 1:44 AM Thanks Connie. That's sweet of you. I always try my best to understand what I'm reading. As far as Washington goes I've never lived there ... but I've lived just one state over all my life: Idaho ... so I've visited the Puget Sound a couple times, at most. I should be moving in a month to Georgia, however, so that should be different! You're not only a great poet, Connie, but also a great comment-er ... writing with intelligence and encouragement simultaneously!

Sara Kendrick March 23, 2016 at 6:05 PM Ahh!! I do like this one..Reads like a winner if for a contest..Thanks for stopping by and for faving my poem..Sara..this one is going in my favs as well.. Connie Marcum Wong March 23, 2016 at 10:08 PM Why thank you so much Sara. Yes it is for the elements wind contest. I am trying to find the entries to enjoy. Cheers, Connie ; )

Constance La France March 23, 2016 at 11:39 AM Connie this is lovely and I am loving this 7! Connie Marcum Wong April 19, 2016 at 11:00 PM Thank you very much Constance. You are on a winning roll and I am absorbing the beauty of your poetry. ; )

Timothy Hicks March 23, 2016 at 12:31 AM The wind you describe is of the romantic variety. Very pretty. I liked how even though the wind lost his temper now and then, you still see his more gentle nature. "Don't make meek martyrs of the trees as you uproot them as you please" ... now that's a great line. I seem to remember you saying you lived in Washington for a time --- I didn't think anyone would catch on to my random reference to the Puget Sound! Connie Marcum Wong March 23, 2016 at 12:44 PM You understand exactly what I was trying to express in my poem Timothy, probably because you are a master at metaphor. We have bays and harbors and points here, but nothing we call a sound here in Hawaii. Do you live in Washington state? I still miss it after all these years, I have lived in Hawaii over 35 years.Thank you for such an insightful comment my friend. ; )

Andrea Dietrich March 22, 2016 at 3:53 PM so wonderful to see this one with its picture. HOw can some people criticize us putting pictures up with out poems? I think it makes it all so fun. a SEVEN for your lovely personification. Connie Marcum Wong March 22, 2016 at 10:32 PM I like to write my poem and then search for the perfect picture to go with it. I do believe a lovely picture is able to enhance a poem. Thank you Andrea. You know I live where we have a lot of welcome wind on the hillside and I dearly love it, which is my reason for making this romantic. ; )

Daver Austin March 21, 2016 at 10:44 AM "Your power paves a mockery of gentleness i long to see." Great line - what with the way the wind has been wasting the southern states and the corn belt. Super write all the way through. Love, DAve Connie Marcum Wong March 21, 2016 at 6:21 PM I watch the weather and really feel for those especially caught in tornados that can kill and destroy everything in its path. Thanks a lot Daver. ; )

Lin Lane March 21, 2016 at 6:10 AM Very nice expressions of the wind's powers, Connie. You commend him but also rubuke, "Don't make meek martyrs of the trees When you uproot them as you please." Connie Marcum Wong March 21, 2016 at 6:13 PM What you say is true Lin, like an actual love that never runs smoothly. Thanks so much for your nice comment and your insight. ; )
