Gwen,

This poem has passion. Your poetry is very similar to mine and I like it. My book, "Acorns of Love and Wisdom," has about 100 poems in it and the subjects are varied similar to yours.

Good job of using words to paint a picture

my dear friend, if i understood the poem well, you excatly painted the persona of mankind which one time goes rages on so bitterly and becomes friendly the other time. Even if you did not intend it that way, thi is a profound poem. thanks for sharing

No, my dear Becca! I'm not, nor ever have been abused! Far from it! Perhaps I'm just intensely attuned to nature. I love to express the wonder I find in so many ordinary things. You may want to read an earlier poem of mine entitled, "My Lover The Wind" in which I express an entirely different view of the wind. Thank you for caring.

I do not know if others are afraid to say it but I will say it,
I hope you are not being abused as you write of the Angry wind.
That was my first thought as I read your poem.
Maybe I take things TOO LITERALLY but I am concerned about you now.
I will try and work more on seeing the overall picture of things.
Love,Becca

Oh Gwen you captured it in a small glass bottle and i did watch it swirl.
"In anger you attack ferociously
sending branches crashing to the ground
emitting the most alarming sounds
Some trees you whip "to and fro"
while others you bend down low
There they remain shivering
awaiting your permission to rise once more "

Excellent and yes the last stanza was outstanding.
