Blowing, freshening, blustery gusts    
bracing, racing,
whisking, frisking
decluttering clinging, clogging cobwebs –
cast out fast by whooshing blast,    
invigorated, no more shrinking, sinking,
gloomy, weary weight oppressing, stressing,
breeze-brightened eyes;    
leaf litter crisped up, skitters, and flies,
complexions flushed and towels fluffed,
clouds scurrying, people hurrying
swoop, scoot and scuttle into dens calm and cosy
soul singing, ears ringing, cheeks chafed and rosy.

You've done my exercise for me again!  Invigorating.

Thanks, Helen, I found it invigorating thinking of all the memories of such lovely gales. And thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake, that is one of the words I regularly get wrong! Rhiannon

Oh I wasn't pointing that out - I just found it so - glad I accidentally helped!

Hi Rhiannon

I nearly had to shut the window when reading this - it produced such a fresh breeze.

I enjoyed reading it. I like the wind too, if it isn't from the frozen north.

! thanks, Jean. Some winds are just a bit too strong to be out in, but I have happy memories of walking the promenade or the hills, or just down the road in invigorating ones.

A tongue work out with a blustery stroll to boot. A refreshing poem.

Thanks, Vera. I do like tongue workouts as you've probably noticed! Glad you shared a refreshing blow around. Rhiannon

Well this certainly blew away the cobwebs for me, Rhiannon.  Delightful.

Breezily invigorating.

Submitted by Rhiannonw on

Thanks, Elsie, yes. And I hope by the end of this the spelling of 'invigorating' will be firmly in my head. I started it with an 'e' originally, and I realised that that is how I say the word, and that I am constantly spelling it that way. But in this correspondence I have had lots of reminders! regards, Rhiannon

Thank you, Jenny. I have very poor internet access at the moment, and this is about the fourth time I have tried to reply to you! Rhiannon
