Hi Mikey;
-you did an outstanding job at creating a romantic metaphor of the wind and how it determines its control over your feelings and the comprehensions of the world around you.
-I enjoyed your imagery which words very distinct and clear and quite exquisitely expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive throughout the writing.
- your picture's a nice metaphor of the wind and I believe it is very appropriate and relative to the concept and theme of your writing.
- thank you for sharing and posting and may the Lord be with you always Mikey.

Comment from CD Richards
Great work again, Mikey. I love the idea of the two forces - the wind, and the romantic connection between the couple. Which is strongest?
What fun challenges these are turning out to be :)

Sorry to be so slow in responding. Yes, this really is fun. Some great work too. None of it would have been written either. Glad you liked this. Wow, this was a tough challenge. Jeesh. mikey
Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
This is a wonderful free verse. What a hard prompt. How did you do this so fast and all of the beautiful formatting too. I just plopped mine from Word, no formatting and put in the first picture of seeds that looked anywhere near appropriate. This is amazing, my friend. I enjoyed this and look forward to doing it again. Free verse is my weakest point, so I'm surprised I came up with anything. Thanks for setting this up and inviting me, mikey~Debbie

Actually, I almost always format like this so it's second nature. Advanced editor, black background, large letters, dark blue, red or gold ink, find a quick dark picture. POST. LOL
This was a hard prompt. The hardest ever, but wow, some great work came out of it. Sorry to be so late with my response. So pleased you joined us. Great fun, yes? Limericks next. HA! mikey
Comment from flylikeaneagle
michael: great alliteration and flow of words. I like you colors of black and blue, maybe, your favorites. The wind blows and we watch the action of this on our land. The silent hand is with us. Ok, great poem and imagination, of course! Great job!!!
Fun contest, Michael...flylikeaneagle
(I do not understand how to start in this contest and where to find the info...however, I enjoyed yours).

Comment from LIJ Red
The comparison of passion to high winds is an aged and honored one.
You are up to my favorite trick, ITS plain to see. Excellent entry.

Sorry to be so slow with my response, I got crazy buried. "ITS" made me snort coffee all over my computer monitor. HAHAHA!!! It''''s only ONE mistake even if I made it a hundred times. LOL
Thanks kindly, mikey
Comment from brenda bickers
Hi Mikey,
OMG, I am having a mare of a time. Firstly I realise that I have just spent nearly two days writing a crown of sonnets for a competition that I didn't enter and thought I had, and now realise that I reserved a place in the other sonnet competition which I haven't written a poem for yet, because I hadn't realised I'd entered that one. To top all that I have forgotten all about the potlatch contest and missed the deadline because I'm laid up in bed with my legs elevated (no it's nothing to do with what your thinking) LOL, because I have a serious blood pressure problem that has blown my legs up like balloons, which has happened in the space of a couple of hours. Don't have a lap top so have to sneak to the pc down stairs while hubby's not about. Other than that I am having a whale of a time.
Sorry about the potlatch challenge, but will be ready for next weeks one.
Yours looks good by the way.

OMG. What in the world did you think I was thinking? HAHAHA! I was thinking something and then I had other thoughts following. What I thought was pretty obscure, but then I thought what you were thinking I probably thought and then I went into something obscure again.
Okay, by now I know you've survived all of this. Limericks are fast approaching. Jeesh, it's three A.M. here and I have no sense, but I'm catching up. I still have your crown to look at, that's sonnets to anyone who happens to be reading this. Why are you spying on us is the question? Okay, crown, reviewing, yes, sleep?, no. Excellent. Thank you, mikey

Hi Mikey, i think i get the gist of this reply. Whoops did i write something that i was thinking that i thought you might be thinking. That should have remained just a thought, how ever i know exactly how you men think , so you can't blame me for thinking that in the first place. I do apologise for my vulgar thoughts but i dare you to deny yours!!!! Anyway i am all set for the challenge this week, looking forward to it. If your still talking to a dirt mouth i'll speak again soon.

I'm not like other men. :)) My first thought was something related but very obscure. But my second thought was as you might suspect in the most tender and sweet way imaginable of course.
It just dawned on me that your saying all this with a British accent. Smile. Of course I'll be talking to you. mikey

Why did i think you were Irish living in America and is an English accent not good? !!!

I am Irish. An English accent IS good. :))
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Bravo! I think you did a terrific job with the topic! You had to go and sneak in romance in the second half tho... sigh. You're hopeless. LOL!
You have a LOT of words to correct, same error in each. ITS, no apostrophe! IT'S = IT IS, ITS = of it, or belonging to it.
yet, I feel it's force strengthen <-- Change IT'S to ITS in every line.
both aware of it's new awareness
but my passion denies it's admonitions
than the fury of it's retribution
and it's silence becomes a howling
and we join it's shrill song

Geez!!! Why do I keep doing that? What a dumb-dumb habit.
What a great topic!!! It was hard too. HAHAHA. I actually felt my brain turn on. creeeeaaaaak! LOVE IT. Some truly unusual pieces. Nothing run of the mill at all. This is the first time I recall looking at a blank screen for ANY length of time before starting. LOL Yep. Keep us on our toes! mikey
Comment from Gloria ....
Beautifully written Mikey. Ellijay was first in, in my world and you were second.
Love your presentation and the poem itself is as always one of your amazing works.
You are indeed a whale of a poet. :))

The Cahill family crest is a whale spouting. I have no idea why. In my world I'm the greatest Barrister of them all! Of course, you haven't seen Bedlam with Boris Karloff so that won't make any sense, but believe me as one of the people of the pillar, I'm special. Just ask Nell Bowen. I actually drew a blank on this topic. I sat there and stared at the screen for almost two minutes before I began writing. That has never happened to me in my entire life. It was SCARY! It's three A.M. I'm catching up. This is a lovely review and you are a lovely girl. Carry on. mikey
Comment from ciliverde
Wow! This is fascinating. You tell an amazing story in such a short period of time, a romantic encounter on a clifftop, the wind is like a God that tickles when pleased but slaps hard when angered...
The wind is animate, with awareness, and the myths about it are all true...
I think.
This is amazing! I wrote something from my own life to write about, in a semi-mythical way. I'm not sure I could create something so completely from scratch in such a short time! Great stuff here, Mikey :)
Geez, my heart is beating fast after that little adventure (writing, and then reading yours - yours is the first I've read!)

This was a DIFFICULT challenge. WHEW! I'm so delighted you enjoyed this. It's the first time in my life I ever stared at a blank screen before writing. Scary. But we all managed to do well. Great fun when all was said and done.
Thanks so much. Limericks this week. Goodness knows what Phyllis will come up with. Yee Haw! mikey
Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
Hi, Mikey
= Fantastic! I love the sensual climate to this, yet done in a sleek way.
= I must say, my friend, you do 'Sleek Sensual' very well. (*<*)
= Super last line: 'The myth of the wind is no myth' ... as they come together.
= YEP, it's a keeper.
