Continuously, the wind blows and blows
As wooden window shutters rap and tap
It whistles through the cracks with highs and lows
When cold outside, it gives your face a slap
Out in the desert sun, it burns like fire
It pushes, it stabs, it drains and it throws
Pulling autumn leafs higher and higher
Inspiring poets to write windy prose
Relentlessly the wind blows and blows
For sail boats, soaring birds and flags, all’s well
In the wind, it’s great to be one of those
For a struggling butterfly, not so swell
From the winters wind, comes a stuffy nose
As it pushes the cold into your face
And drifts the snow until you’re walking slows
The wind blows and blows at quite a pace
As wooden window shutters rap and tap
It whistles through the cracks with highs and lows
When cold outside, it gives your face a slap
Out in the desert sun, it burns like fire
It pushes, it stabs, it drains and it throws
Pulling autumn leafs higher and higher
Inspiring poets to write windy prose
Relentlessly the wind blows and blows
For sail boats, soaring birds and flags, all’s well
In the wind, it’s great to be one of those
For a struggling butterfly, not so swell
From the winters wind, comes a stuffy nose
As it pushes the cold into your face
And drifts the snow until you’re walking slows
The wind blows and blows at quite a pace

You've penned the many ways wind works its way with all of us. I've experienced all the ways you've written about. A swell poem that I relate to so well.

Re: The wind blows and blows(Empat)
Not only did you describe the nature of wind being capricious in its direction, you also personified it as different personalities! It was interesting to look at how perspectives change based on who is being affected by the wind and where they are being affected at!

I'd never heard of an empat before but this had a really nice relaxing way about it.
