Waving Hands - What is The Weather in Your Heart?

Windy Heart

Students - Today is the last day of the school year for my children.  For Hope, our eldest, it is the last day she will ever attend her school, the school where she's been a student for five years.  It is a bittersweet time, and I imagine that the wind is blowing in her heart today.  It sure is in mine.  Today's poem is not a new one, but I haven't shared it before today.  It's a "sighing feeling" poem.  

You'll notice just a hint of movement in this one.  Lines 4 indents to give a waving feeling between lines 3 and 4.  It's subtle, but it's there.  

Weather can bring a lot of imagery into a poem, simply and clearly.  If you've never tried adding a bit of rain or wind or a warm morning to your poems, you may wish to give it a try.

Warmly wise Tabatha Yeatts is hosting today's Poetry Friday roundup, so you'll want to head on over to The Opposite of Indifference to see who's sharing what goodies today!
