Send Sawyer to my place, I've got five ceiling fans lol. Great word choices like "whooshing", "cower" and huddle. Excellent personification of Wind. I'm not so sure he'd like the wind outside right now! dang it's cold!
All the best,
Rodger

    Thank you, Rodger :-) Yeah, he does not appreciate the cold. He got that from his mom and she got it from me. Of course, he has been spending the past few weeks playing in his yard in 85 to 90 degree weather, so to him wind is just a friendly thing. LOL

Well you've done it again once more! You just have a special way with words that I admire so much. Seems you can just sit down and write about anything!

Lovely words convey your lyrical picture of the wind. The rhymes were great and it flowed along with a nice smooth rhythm. Most enjoyable. Faye

I can quite understand that, Sawyer and his 'wind' fans, remind me of my granddaughter Chloe, every time she saw a light, she would point and say, 'light' until we switched it on. I love these little things that make something ordinary turn into something special. Your poem is lovely, Brooke. Is Miranda a professional photographer? Her photos are always just perfect. :) sandra

    Sandra, thank you :-) Your little Chloe sounds delightful. Since Chloe is the name of Sawyer's little girlfriend, Chloe is one of my favorite sounds because he sounds so cute saying her name. Miranda's dad was a professional photographer who taught both darkroom classes and photographic history on the college level. She has his talent flowing through her, but as a profession she is a nanny. Brooke

    I do think you have to have a talent for photography, its not a case of point and click. There are so many other elements to it. She really has a talent for it, Brooke, she always catches Sawyer perfectly. :) x

    I spent many years to going to museums of photography, so I totally agree. Photography truly is an art that takes a special eye. Miranda definitely has her dad's eye. Every time I see her work I miss him and think how proud he must be of his legacy. :-)

    We are quite similar in some ways. I look at my youngest son, how he has built his successful business up, just like his father did. I know he would be so proud. We never die, Brooke, we continue through those special links parents share with their children. x

It's the little things in life, right? It might be just be a ceiling fan to us but it can be so much for a child. My sister babysat her friends baby and she went to Subway for supper. As she ate the baby stared at himself in the gold shiny plant holder thing that was above their heads. He feel asleep staring at himself, mesmerized by the gold shiny thing that he could see himself in. Sometimes I wish I was young enough to get lost in something so simple.

Great poem. I like how you took that inspiration from the sealing vent and turned it into something so mystical. Beautiful choice of words to take us into that world

Nice alliteration in the first line. Like how refer to the wind when "it's lungs to blow another round" gives it a human quality. Wonderful rhyming. Thanks for sharing. Les
