ill Winds Blow

Even the darkest clouds eventually wave goodbye

ill Winds Blow

When ill winds blow, the skies turn gray,

Carrying whispers that steal the day.

The branches creak, the shutters groan,

A restless spirit claims its throne.

It sweeps through streets, both bold and shy,

A phantom howl, a mournful cry.

It stirs the waves, it bends the trees,

A shadow riding on the breeze.

But in its wake, though hearts may quake,

New seeds are sown, the earth will wake.

For even ill winds, fierce and wild,

Can clear the path for something mild.

So let it howl, let it moan,

For storms will pass, and winds have shown—

That after fury, skies will mend,

And gentle breezes will descend

    So this is what real poetry looks like. Very captivating and full of emotion, this line works in poem and in story because of the visual it creates: 'The branches creak, the shutters groan,'
