Very ethereal and windy. So eloquent and well-verse in rhyme and flow. A good diction of the wind. I really like this verse, "Are you friend or are you foe,
Will you howl or gently blow,
Will you let me see your face,
Run away without a trace!"

The vagaries of human spirit are captured well in this metaphoric almost rant-type poem, Maybe frustration-type poem is a better descriptive than rant.

In one metaphoric sense, you ask one of the unanswerable questions that Gertrude Stein answered, to wit: There aint no answer. There aint going to be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.

All the beauties of Nature are created by God and I am sure there is a reason for everything. Well chosen rhymes, words and imagery to convey your lovely message. It has a nice smooth flow and was a most enjoyable read. Faye

Excellent Poem! I loved the words of this poem. The author's words are descriptive, clear and creative. The reader pondered on this poem and spent time reflecting on the author's notes. The artwork is perfect and enhances the read.

If the breeze is the Holy Spirit, I have a nomination for the wind that breaks the tree's bones. Road Rage! This is
just as artistic through a secular eye. Excellent.

I sang this lovely song as I read, also like how you compare gentle breeze to God's breath, very novel thought, beautiful rhyme scheme Graces your song even more.

Excellent personification of the powerful and elusive 'wind', Roy.

Loved the imagery of the lank clothes on lines, missing the excitement and 'dance' of the wind, in particular.

Excellent.

Best wishes, Ray.
