A CHILL MARCH WIND SCATTERS THE MORNING MIST

SHAPED BY THE ROUGH CARESS OF WIND AND WATER

THE WIND IS ROARING AND STRUGGLING AMONG THE BRANCHES

A COOL BREEZE SOFTENS THE HUMID AFTERNOON HEAT

THE WHITE CURTAINS FLUTTERED IN THE EVENING BREEZE

THE WIND WAS HOWLING AND SHAKING THE WINDOWS

DUST SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE AS THE WIND ROARED

THE FRIGID WIND SCREAMED ACROSS THE WILDERNESS

WINDS OF CHANGE START TO BLOW

THE WIND WAS A LIVING THING

THE WIND HAD A FEATHER TOUCH

THE WIND TURNED MY HOTEL INTO A RIOTOUS ORCHESTRA

THE WIND CAN TURN A TREE INTO A BLEACHED AND TORTURED SCULPTURE

SIMILES

LIKE A WILD BEAST TANGLED IN A NET

HISSED AND ROARED LIKE DRAGONS

WIND AS SOFT AS SILK

THE WIND MADE THE DOORS RATTLE LIKE SNARE DRUMS

A GAP UNDER THE CORRUGATED ROOF WAILED LIKE A FLUTE

THE WIND EMITTED A STEADY DRONE LIKE A BAGPIPE
