This essence poem, The Wind, has both the internal and end rhyme, and six-syllables-per-line requirements. Any other day I would get into the freedom aspect of wind. Today I watch the East Coast blown level. The wind is an awesome thing.

    Guess it was bad timing for this particular poem but I do thank you for the comments and the rating.

That is just what wind does and can cause some mayhem along the way too, as you say it has a will of its own, often high winds can cause much destruction, lvoe Dolly x

Beautifully written and true words about the wind. The Bible says and I paraphrase it and say that the wind blows where it may. And although you cant see the wind but you can see the signs of where its been. This is what this poem reminds me of.

The picture you included was beautiful and the gray clouds in it aided the imagery of the poem. The write followed the rules of the prompt and form. I wish you luck in the contest.

What a great entry this is for the essence poetry prompt. Brilliantly crafted with simplicity. Love the wind, when its gentle. Love the fall as well.
God bless

Very good example of a septolet- flowed nicely and made sense! And it's so true - the wind will blow wherever it wants to. So hang onto your hats! Well done.

Very well written and presented, Anonymous Author. Especially as this is the very first time you've ever written in the Essence Poem format.
I could almost hear the wind whispering through the trees.
Bravo and good luck!

    Thank you. I have to admit that I altered the second line slightly at the advice of another viewer so it's been improved.

A very well-written essence poem. No one are able to stop the wind when it blows over the fields, it blows as fast as it can and wherever it wants to go when it comes over the hill.
