The wind blows free in my valley,
Bending giant trees to her will.
Sometimes from the North
Such anger spews forth
That even the sun feels her chill.

Clouds scurry round to obey her,
In fear she'll devour them as well.
In her primal pain
She lures gentle rain
To join in her demonic spell.

In moments, fury abated,
Reverting to sweet tempered breeze
So mellow and light,
She seduces night
And vamps the daybreak with her tease.

I really liked the rhyming scheme in this piece. It's so different from what you normally see. I liked it, it pulls the piece together. Makes it a whole.

Joyce: I enjoyed your poem and remember the winds in Seattle when we lived there. They can be pretty fierce at times.

Sounds nearly like a tornado! There is much power in wind, that's for sure.
Enjoyed the read.

We never see tornados in this part of the country. Just 70 mile winds at times. Takes down our trees. Thanks for reading. Joyce
