westward ocean waves
crash against stormy shoreline
causing chaos
Westward Wind Poetry Contest
Bj Legros Kelley
balloons in the wind
up, up, and away she goes
the morning sun waves
unfurling zephyrs
bliss of nature's paradise ~
a revival shift
Place: 4
Golden prairies roll,
Whispers chase the setting sun,
Wild hearts find their home.
winter grows closer
the westward wind blows strongly
white caps crown the sea
Traveling for miles
Blowing through sand,making ridges
Cools climate behind
dark clouds gathering
cresting white waves pound damp sands
songbirds stay silent
west sea tides rise, roar
west wind's band beats from shore
trees sway hard with rain
outward bound wind craves
bed warm with moonlight song waves
breeze dreams bring red leaves ~

fleeing westward wind
cuts through the barren badland ~
tumbleweed gives chase
faithful, westward wind
with hope, you spread your blessings ~
to create a change
forest on fire
westward wind bending palm trees
smoking piles debris
started as a breeze
the westward wind picked up speed~
brought intense rainstorm
wild westerly wind
like a zephyr storm blowing ...
sweeping lament sound
west winds soft alight
in fields where gleeful barley
wave their sweet goodbyes
