You did a great job with your contest entry, Sally. Your poem adheres to the rules nicely. You are right. The winds of change are always bloin' in--some good, some bad. But there's no stoppin' them. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

This is an excellent entry, Sally. It offers good imagery and emotions. I especially like the term 'wild winds' The addition of the Cat Stevens video is a bonus for members. (I love squirrels and feed them every day.) :-)

This is a good metaphor, Sally. There are definitely wild winds in the air--winds that are changing not just the landscapes, but the very foundations of our lives as well.
I like the wild hair theme that you've got going here and in another poem that you wrote lately. Works for me.

Sally, you say so much in so few words and yet open up so much to the reader's imagination. With that delicate font sweeping across the page and your faded out colors, it also adds to the mystique of your story.

A tousled life always makes for an interesting poem. I enjoyed reading this contest entry. This poem flowed nicely. I am wondering exactly what is going on in this girl's life. I guess I will never know. Good luck with the contest.

That wind blown look is so much better looking than the fan blown hairdo. The wind tousled look makes you look young like you can take on any tousled life crisis, whatever may be.

This work has reached the exceptional level

What a great metaphor you used in describing how things can so drastically change in our life from moment to moment.i say this because here in Amarillo, Texas, we have a saying, "If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes. it'll change." That is why your poem affects me so. Really nicely done, and with a great picture, to boot. I wish you the best with it in the contest!

The Houston humidity has come back after some nice spring like days and I can't write very well - it just wipes out all my energy. But I did want to give this a read. You did a terrific job - chose your words carefully, held much meaning. Hugs, Lou

    Thank you very much for the wonderful review and for making the effort although you're not feeling well. That means the most because I'm certainly not feeling so great myself! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you have an improved week. Sally xoxo

A really nice short poem which opens a window of imaginary thoughts and the concrete past for some of us. You did well and offer a nice presentation as well.
Have a nice day!
