Willie, I love your poetry, and I like the fact that they are short, but I also like the fact that you keep them short to not bore people when they're reading them. I am never bored when I read one of your poems. They are lovely. Pat.

Comment from Michael Groover
This poem beautifully captures the serene and harmonious relationship between nature and music, creating a tranquil and almost magical atmosphere. Each stanza contributes to building a vivid, sensory experience of the wind's melody as it interacts with the surroundings.
The opening stanza, "Listen to the sound / Of my Windsong," immediately invites the reader into a personal and intimate experience. The term "Windsong" personifies the wind, suggesting a unique and melodious character to its movement. The idea of the wind "Sending music / All day long" sets a tone of continuous, gentle motion and sound.
The second stanza elaborates on this melody, describing how it seems to change chords as it travels through the backyard. This imagery not only adds a musical quality to the wind's movement but also suggests a dynamic and ever-changing nature, like an improvised piece of music.
In the third stanza, the interaction between the wind and the trees is depicted as a harmonious collaboration, with the trees accompanying the wind's song. The description of the wind passing "softly through the leaves" enhances the gentle, soothing quality of this natural symphony.
The poem then transitions to the effect of this melody on the speaker, with the trees swaying to the soft tune and sending sweet music through the bedroom. This creates an image of nature's lullaby, contributing to the speaker's peaceful sleep.
