“no wind blowing”

In the eerie stillness
not even the wind
was blowing.


We could not find
the answer.  There was
no wind blowing in which
to look.


disappointed
children head home with new kites
no wind blowing


               He wanted to go parasailing
             hoping the wind would be wailing.
               When he got there he found
                 not a zephyr around
      He stopped at a pub, drank ale at the brass railing.

    I just finished a murder mystery called ‘Specter of Justice’…
    A murder happened during a ‘ghost tour!’

    No answers blowing in the wind… a reversal of the Bob Dylan song.

    No wind for kites… try any shoreline 😉

    And the limerick a delight!
