8 April: A-to-Z Challenge

G is for Gusty

A gusty sneeze. A push.
A breeze. A thrown stone.
A drum roll. An autumn leaf.

It’s lay siege to petals weather,
wind under a white egret wing.

For A-Z Challenge. Gusty: A rapid fluctuation of wind speed with variations of 10 knots or more between peaks and lulls. Written for the A-to-Z Challenge. Declared theme for the challenge is Weather.

I like the wind!
But too much of it like anything else is troublesome!

Stopping by from A-Z,
Dream

Lovely. This challenge has brought out wonderful stuff. I feel like it’s perfect for a chapbook if you’re interested in such things.

“A gusty sneeze”

Really loving this.

I like this. The short lines.
And that leaf looks like one I had on my shelf that finally crumpled to bits the other day.

This is my poetry blog. I’m not doing the A to Z on it. I’m doing the poem a day for April. https://ruffdraftsite.wordpress.com/

Love the poem. The wind under the egret’s wing leaves me with a sigh. 🙂
The AI image is great. I’ve wanted to check it out, but haven’t yet.

Gusty is right! Lots of wind this spring in NYC — and now it’s full of pollen 🙂 Achoo! Visiting from A to Z.
