a weighty wind wanders
in idle bluster

I bluster
with what 
I don't understand
and cover up
the cracks
with anger and pain....

The wind
Sudden bluster
Lever, balance, employ
Changing direction without thought
Pull-down...

when all the world has had its fill
of bluster, lies and war
I trust the silence I can't hear
will be louder than before....

colorful bluster cooled off

Full of bluster and blow was this woman
Intricate lies and stories had become her fun
But when it came right down to proof
The truly innocent were those who won...

You’ve heard of that bloke from Nantucket
Whose bluster was blue by the bucket.
   I’m much too uptight
   To finish this right,
But you get the picture, so......

Windy, restless day
Grey clouds dance across the sky
The persistent sun peaks through

White caps on the pond
The day hurries to an end
Pink cotton candy sunset...

dizzy dance of leaves
falling, evergreens crooning,
tire swing swiveling,
swords clashing, children laughing
bluster brisk as battle cools

My boss believed he should be on the stage,
And each morning he’d act out on his rage.
If you’d complain or curse,
It made it that much worse,
Until they hauled him away in a cage....

Always the thunder,
  never the rain

Deafening bluster,
  masking the plain

Never the thunder,
  always the rain

Truth buried under,
 —rising again

A bold, bullly bronc buster called Custer
Broke stallions with sharp spurs and vile bluster. 
As champ his wins caused great grief,
Yet all riders called him chief,
‘Til Crazy Horse twisted him a duster....

To take us all down a very dark alley

A wandering wind
  whispered a tune
caressing our skin
  with the softness of June

November's bluster expunged
  as into loving arms we plunged
Two lingering leaves swept along
  by mid-summer's dream-song...

The leaves on the trees bluster. 

There are no longer hopes I can muster. 

I forgot. 

When they let my roots rot. 

Love got lost in the blustering leaves. 

That swirl around and get caught in the eves....

Life is the fragile substance 
             the only that can 
disappear in a breath 
             and make a bluster 
in the silence 
             mangling multiples
 hearts
             Married by the same pain....

Limerick : Once a Little Girl and her Sister

Once a little girl and her sister
Went out for a walk in a bluster
Little girl lost her way
Big sister blew away
With a Mister who wore a whisker.

The ice on the waterfall
 sparkles like crystal diamonds
 glittering and glistening in the sun
but the icy chill wafts in the fires glow
 subtle cool breezes bluster the day
 and March enters hanging onto winter's last dream....

Wind
begins
with the small
tinkle outside
my door from wind chimes
hung just to capture the
beginning of a bluster
then roars to a point where it seems
those chimes will fall from their peg to go
far away with this fierce force blowing on....

There once lived a general named Custer,

   Well-known for his arrogance and bluster.

      He met his Waterloo,

         By bands of wrathful Sioux.

            Could be said this was his final muster!

What did Custer bluster as he saw the Indians rushin' up the valley?

"HERE COME THE INDIANS, BOYS!  AIN'T NO TIME TO DALLY"!

Custer's brave troopers fought with all the force they could muster,

But the Indians won the day thereby makin' a widder of Missus Custer!...

To go in a circular, spiral, curved
Or crooked course
Breeze, zephyr, puff or bluster
Claptrap, horwash or baloney
Tornado, Cyclone or a disaster

No matter how you put it
If your vehicle stays on the road
In Kansas, South Dakota or Wyoming
You have more than met your goal...

close my eyes at bluster of wind — it rains on sad news

i want to be swept up in its keep
         swallowed in vines
        the reckoning of age
            makes one think
           the child inside me
                       says
             no I don’t want to

bluster in moonlight
all around lime trembling trees
and through fragrant fields

in a far flung dream
to be everywhere at once
under diamond stars

blooms have lost petals
there's howling in the valley
drowning out all sounds

raging's at the door
and all the windows rattling
cozy fires tonight...

Wind, what’s the rush?
Why the huff,
Why the puff 
Like the wolf
From
The Three Little Pigs,
Muffling my ears 
With “Pfffhhhh…..”,
Nipping my cheek,
Sushing the bird and
Bending that tree into a whistle
Until it shrieks.
Restless, you bluster?....
When you are free to whorl 
The entire world ‘round?...
