Poetry Monday :: Wind

If you want to read some more, and better  poetry,  Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read.

  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month - may  we hope for more!
  SpikesBestMate often leaves a nice verse in the comments over at Diane's place.

  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is slowly returning to blogging after her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way. And dare we hope that she will join Poetry Monday again.

This Mondays topic is Wind. In Danish we have a children's song about us not being able to see the wind, only what it does. I tried re-writing it in English.

Nobody can ever see the wind.
You can't see it, neither can your friend
But... when the mills are turning
And the leaves are churning
Everybody knows the wind is blowing.

Nobody can ever see the wind
Nobody can even get a glint.
But ... when the waves are foamy
And the sea is stormy
Everybody knows the wind is blowing.

Nobody can ever see the wind
No matter where you are or were or been.
But ... when the eaves are sighing
And the pennants flying,
Everybody knows the wind is blowing.

Nobody can ever see the wind
Noone can, not even your best friend
but when kites are flying
and the clothes are drying
Everybody knows the wind is blowing.
