Windy Words

A brainstorm in my head did rage
Releasing words my mind engaged
 as these words  were rearranged
They formed a poem upon my page

As I held it in my hand
A fierce wind blew
And in the wind my poem flew
Across the desert sands

Then over the hills with daffodils
Through the clouds it traveled still
Soon  it went across the sea 
Landing in an old oak  tree

Then a hurricane came roaring through
And once again my poem flew
through the woods where butterflies roam
with sweetened words like honeycomb
When the storm was finally done
My poem once again to me did come

For the Boomerrang Contest

I'm loving this! It's light and airy and takes readers like me away from the freezing weather...at least for awhile, Joseph. Best wishes for the Winners' Circle as this is very well done. Always, Annalise
