Wind

F-Poem
T-Wind
S-Blowing


Wind

Blowing freely here and there
Blowing noisily, growling like a bear

I listen quietly, not knowing when it might end
Because before by eyes it might blow around the next bend

Blowing freely here and there
Blowing noisily growling like a bear

Moving strongly around the tree's
Moving slowly, glad to be free

Blowing freely here and there
Blowing noisily, growling like a bear

Making it's presence known everywhere
Bothering everyone by ruining their hair

Blowing freely here and there
Blowing noisily, growling like a bear.
