It was on the news today
Yesterday too
Hot winds in the west driving awful blazes
Trees in the south uprooted….splintered
Barometric differential
Sailboats revel in the bonanza
Wheat fields dance to the ebb and flow
A welcome breeze dries the sweat from your brow
Until dark clouds become the horizon
Until the horizon becomes your neighbor
How can we judge the wisdom of the wind?
Seemingly random acts of nature
That for centuries propelled commerce
And discovery
Whimsy and poetry and windmills
Millennial choreographer of
Monsoons and blizzards and dust storms
Life giver, life saver, Grim Reaper
Whose bones are next?
Ask Oz

i like how you developed this poem ...
Where was global warming some 30 years ago when El Paso Texas got a foot of snow
Even El Niño wasn't around
I truly hope all this B S of global warming disappears with that wonderful wind
In your well crafted poem I enjoyed reading
Peace be with you

Does Oz still hand out diplomas and medals? You deserve one of each.
