Blow Wind, Blow...
It rattled windows it rattled my doors
it went whistling past in a rattling rush,
it rattled tea cups and saucers of course
carrying trees and a mulberry bush,
tin cans, newspapers, a disgruntled cat
dustbins, a slice of bread and beef dripping,
the winning home run from a baseball bat
giving buildings a whipping in passing,
but, pleasing sailors sailing their Dinghy's,
and blowing you home dear, " did you miss me? "

Sometimes i wonder what the winds are doing out there on the ocean. I can often detect a hint of saltwater on the leftover breeze here in the mountains, knowing it has likely caused considerable trouble for someone elsewhere. One person's blessing could be another's burden, I suppose. Worthwhile subjects to ponder on.

My sense of smell was destroyed
by smoking tobacco so, I envy those
who still have that sense.
And, I think if the early humans and
how their sense of smell helped them
survive, day by day.
It's a funny old life.

Here, miles inland, we get seagulls blown in with storms. I feel so sorry for their displacement, especially in fast food parking lots, but watching them reminds me of growing up at the beach. I always hope they fine their way home.
Well done with the imagery! Loved the mulberry bush.

Hi Ahavati Tams?
Thank you kindly for the visit and comment
but with this little piece I've cheated, kind of.
It's two thirds of a sonnet (already posted)
I cut down to fit a competition.
I guess I'm getting lazy.
About the seagulls we get those here on our river Wharfe
but they come for the food put out for the ducks &
geese flying here from Canada, those can sense the water.
They are on their way to the nature reserve of Fairburn Ings
to nest and breed
The greedy gulls smell the food. They ain't on their way
anywhere except to feed Bless 'em.
England is about 190 miles wide so non of us are very
far from the sea. Including the gulls. lol.
