The wind’s busy today.

It bustles and hurries

flipping bin lids

as it goes.

 

The wind’s forgetful today.

It rushes past me,

can’t remember where it’s going,

turns back

and rushes past me

again.

 

The wind’s playful today.

Stripping the leaves off the trees

to leave them naked.

 

The wind’s chatty today

laughing and giggling

it raises my skirt

as it swirls by.

 

The wind’s spiteful today

getting chilly and boisterous

making me wish

I’d put my scarf and gloves on.

 

The wind’s grumpy today.

It moans and whistles

hums and screeches.

It has a lot to say.

 

Before it blows away.
