Sorry I haven't been around the last week or so! Lots going on this time of year as we try to prepare ourselves for the coming winter. I did take the time to listen to the wind in the trees yesterday and this is what resulted. Keep in mind that I'm new to free verse and am testing out my wings here...Thanks. WIND SONG ___________________________________________________ The chill wind howls Across open fields Through treetops Caressing me with icy breath Filling my ears with song Calling me Daring me to listen Daring me to hear its plaintive cry Speaking to my heart Echoing through my soul Making it pound to the rhythm of life I hear voices in the trees The cry of birds The rustling of leaves I listen.. And hear the wind in my soul Which, like the breeze through the trees Blows across the fields of my heart Sending up a voice... Have you ever heard the questions in the wind? Had them answered by beating rhythms of the heart? By the whispers of the soul? Have you ever listened... To the Wind Song? |

Very good description of the wind and the trees and all. For a "newbie" I'd have to say you have done very well. Thanks, Pete |

Newbie indeed - I see some wonderful examples of imagery - metaphor - simile - personification... You've used them all beautifully. I'm so happy to have you here in the workshop. You're a great addition to our group...  I really enjoyed your version of a wonderful theme... the song of the wind... |

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful comments!! I may be a "newbie" to the forum, but I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a pen! Most of my poetry is in rhyme however, so I am trying to broaden my horizons with free-verse. Thanks again for all your comments. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for October!! Peace,love,light and poetry!! Tammy |
