    LOL

    I know it blows, so don't even go there



    Well, could we say that the wind farts instead of blowing? that would break the cliche, not?

      Only YOU would think to ask that my dear! If you can get creative with it... go for it!

        Hmm...How on earth can one manage to use the word fart in a poem, without ruining it with that

    you know it blows! now that's true humor! My best piece featuring wind had to do with loneliness... I don't know if I could do another; it had something like "...without you, there is just the wind's companionship in loneliness; it's loneliness I understand, it's in the echoes of the wind..." I don't know... maybe a follow-up...
