And I called her a woman
The north wind is angry tonight.
It's a good night to drop a few rocks in your pockets
unless your heart is made of stone.
The way that dangerous voice
knocks around the concrete breezeways
makes me think she's a woman.
She's out there makin' threats,
pelting the walls with handfuls
of dead, winter leaves, and beating at my door.
Even the moon is in hiding,
but the street signs still cast their shadows...

unless your heart is made of stone" outstanding 🙂

I always thought of the wind as a woman. She blows soft and seductive when she's in the mood. But, man, can she howl in fury too. Gorgeous poem, truly

Ah yes, just like a woman.
And they way her moods can change
at the drop of a hat.
So nice to see you in my comments, sweet lady, thank you....

Much like the wind, you too, breeze in and out and every single time, I'm grateful to have felt it.
I'll always remember what that felt like and thank you, John, more than you know...

I love the metaphors you've used, brilliantly comparing the wind's cycle to a woman's unpredictable mood. Only someone with a "heart of stone" can remain unmoved by her outbursts.
Well done!
