Wind – Slowly drifting, wafting, quavering -
Like the sighing and whispering of leaves in the trees.

​

Wind – as lively and changeable as a child’s mind -
Flish-flash, flish-flash from one subject to the next.

​

Wind – tugging, yanking, straining, jerking -
Like a dog seeking freedom from its lead.

​

Wind – as teasing and annoying as
That alarm clock that awakens you too early.

​

Wind – roaring, blustering, screaming, ranting -
Like a wild banshee heralding death.

​

Wind – as cooling, refreshing  and invigorating -
As the iced lollipop that melts on your tongue.

​

Wind – purposefully, steadily, meaningfully moving –
Like an aeroplane journeying through the sky.

​

Wind – as necessary and life-giving as human breath –
Breathing life into our wonderful world.

Note:  quavering:  quaver:  (as with a voice):  if somebody’s voice quavers, it is unsteady, usually because the person is nervous or afraid.  Perhaps the wind is a little uncertain whether to blow or not.  Josie
