“the wind rattles”

Written for:  The Twiglets #277 - the wind rattles


Rain rattles
old window panes
in wooden frames


Out in the desert
wind storms whirl.
Scent of smoke
leaves people rattled.


brisk april wind
rattles branches of cherry trees
petals fall like pink snow


            After arguing with his spouse
       he slammed the door, and left the house.
          Went for a walk in the woods
            feeling misunderstood
when wind blew him down on rattler who loved to roughhouse.

    The ‘littles’ relateable. Wouldn’t want to be caught up with that ‘rattler!’ 🙂
