Description

Blowin' in the Wind Tumbleweed rolls Across rippled sand Quick breezes Kick it along Erratic As a child Learning soccer Dust devil Hot and fast Dances in the sun Whirling Twirling Picking up Bits of desert duff Moving here To over there Low dunes Shaped by wind-blown erosion Bits of the world Tumbling across high plains Not destructive So much as Rearranging Just the desert Humming to itself Reinventing itself Fiddling with the details While the larger picture Never changes Desert decorations Blowing in the wind .......... The Writer's Gallery Challenge Topic for the month of November is "Blowin' in the Wind." It's not a contest, only a challenge. .......... Cover art made in ArtRage and CS5

So climb up the mountain top and start to Blow, Gabriel blow, Go on an' blow, Gabriel blow, I want to join your happy band, And play all day in the promised land So blow, Gabriel blow...... Cole Porter

This is beautiful. The images of the desert it brings up are so vivid and alive. I'm not doing the challenge this month. I couldn't really think of anything good, it was too hard of a challenge. But I do like the ones that did get posted. So unless the muse hits me on the head in the next several days, yea, skipping this one.

"Not destructive So much as Rearranging" What a cosmic idea! Nothing is ever destroyed, only repurposed or rearranged. This is a wonderful poem. You can really see the wind and its effect on the dessert in the mind's eye.
