Wind (Ravin’ Ink Submission 1.24.25)

I live against the foothills and the wind is crazy, sometimes over 100 mph. The wind is my least favorite weather.

Another windy night,

Awoken me in fright.

Now I’m tired and uptight.

A favorite drink in sight.

I’ll take the morning slow,

With my coffee in tow.

The ground covered in snow,

TV turned to a news’ show.

All the news is bad,

Said the young, news’ lad.

It is very, very sad.

That darn wind drove us all mad!

after reading about your location, your attitude towards the wind becomes very clear. I have a friend who lives in Kansas and they are not a friend of the wind either. Would like to also blame the wind for the bad news but think pretty much that is our doing. Enjoyed your perspective and your work -carl

Hi Carl - thanks so much for stopping by and your review. Wind gusts over 100 mph aren’t unusual where I live during this time of year. My apologies for my delayed reply. I look forward to reading your writing soon.

Finely voiced: every line giving a meaning with true thought and intention! Wind isn't my or lady dog's best friend, it boot dances in the loft like a tank or few from Bovington.

Hello again and thanks for your kind words. Wind is crazy in my area this time of year. Last week gusts were over 70 mph. My two, little ten-pound dogs could easily get picked up and blown away!

[emmajoygreen]

Ooops, how frightening for them .. and you too. Please, please take care if the weather is still as powerful, Lisa.

Perfectly timed LisaCarol, for we are to be slapped around a bit by storm Eowyn rocks up to cause some mayhem.
We even got a government alert on our phones that was loud enough to induce pregnancy and/or heart attack. I opted for the "jump in the air and hit your head on the ceiling " option myself.
I don't like the wind much either. We have our own weather system where this 100mph effort from Eowyn (silly name) falls under the category as a machete wind, because it will be so cold and moving so fast it could split you in two! 😃

Hi Lorry - thanks for reading and your review. You made me smile and laugh, as you always do. We have 100 mph wind at least once a year. I like the description of machete wind and will use that in the future.

[Pete]

it does have a way of stirring things up as do your rhyming words and imagery. great pic too. well done.

[LisaCarol]

Hi Pete - thanks for stopping by and your review. My apologies for the delayed response. I look forward to reading your writing as well. Take care and have a great weekend.

Yes the wind is always in control and this time it drove the broadcaster mad, and I fully understand why….a lovely subtly sarcastic poem, like it!

Hi Betty - thanks for reading and your review. My apologies for the delay in responding, I got busy with a project. The wind in my area at this time of the year is crazy. Gusts last week were above 70 mph. But nothing like your state has endured recently with Helene. I hope you were spared from any damage.

[Betty Hermelee]

you are very welcome Lisa and thank you for your concern about Helene; it was awful but we were spared but many lost their homes, businesses and lives....

Beautiful words and image. My day started off a bit like yours.

Hi MCS - sorry for my delayed reply. I’ve been busy with a renovation project. Thanks for reading and your review. I hope your days are happier for you.
