The hurricanes that cause devastation on the coast merely whip our palms, turn off electricity and knock down tree limbs, but more often, the wind is our friend. It swells our sails, keeps flags, balloons and birds aloft and furnishes the electricity that it sometimes, in its excesses, switches off again.

Hurricane or breeze,
the wind does what it pleases—
both our friend and foe.

 

Rebecca’s Poetry Challenge, we are to write a Haibun on the subject of wind.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      Thanks, Sadje. I went back to your blog and found her link. I am terrible at finding where to link to. When people give the complete directions, I always think it is their prompt. My directional dyslexia..works both in following directions in the physical and the on the page world.
