The Wind

"Chehalis Bike Trail" oil pastels by djl


When the wind bellows,

deep bending boughs

swing twelve feet North,

twelve feet South.


In that sway

fully-leaved they

send forth a roaring sound

and I stare my listen.

You said it perfectly. The wind is a mystery, a force we can not see only through its effect as it leaves us shivering with excitement, and awe.

An interesting tension is created by your choice of the word 'bellows' to describe the unrestrained sound of the wind, and then ingeminating it again in the second stanza in a different way. Twelve feet both ways seems to conjure something mercurial in the ebb and flow of what's happening, not only in the sound, but also, perhaps, in what the writer is going through personally. An interesting write, djl, that lends itself fluidly to many artistic renderings.

Both the impressionistic poem and impressionistic painting invoke vivid images to be cherished.

Staring one's listen. My, what an image. In but a few carefully chosen words, the nature of a tree and its companion, wind, rendered with multi-layered subtext to conjure up even further imaginings for the reader. Well done, Diana. Well done.
Reviewed by Jerry Bolton 9/10/2012
You most certainly do share your listen, Diana. This could be made into a song of old proportions starting with the lines, "swing twelve feet North, / twelve feet South."

I can visualize a jitterbug in there somewhere. Loved this.
