THE HAUNTING WIND

poem by: Steven Godfrey
Written on Jan 27, 2017



Swirling , howling , eerie blasts 
Trees down , power out , much damage amassed 
Gusts so strong , it's hard to stand tall
Like a lightweight in with Ali , certain to fall 

Will this weather ever abate 
It will simply blow through, stay patient and wait 
Bringing with it  an abundance of rain 
Don't go out in that  , are you insane !

Off to bed  and it's  a  struggle to sleep 
The commotion outside has  blown away the sheep 
Fences down , bins thrown all around 
In next doors garden is where they are found 

It is now the morning after the storm 
Sun in the sky , pleasant and warm 
Mother Nature , no one knows what she has in store 
Haunting  wind for now , moved on to another shore.
