The Wind--By Jack Horne--England

The Wind

The wind is like a naughty child,
That watches as I sweep the leaves,
He then delights to scatter them,
And giggles, tugging at my sleeves:
I want to play, the wind believes.

Jack Horne enjoys reading and writing poetry.

  2. I enjoyed this very much, Jack, as it brought back memories of sweeping leaves in my back garden, in England..they often escaped thanks to the wind!

  4. Thanks Jack, for a vivid picture of the wind blowing. Puts me in the mind of a warm autumn evening; the kind of evening where the wind is a soothing midst that caresses my skin.
