Gentle Winds





update:

i have read many poems on here and there are a few that feel incomplete. that is ok. i have extended time on this contest in case anyone would like to change or add anything to their poetry. i am seeking good writes as well as a peaceful experience in reading it. the feeling of peace and serenity and happiness.
any questions please feel free to ask. thanks, wind whisper




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The title finds itself in Gentle Winds to describe the type of poetry i would like to read.

What i am looking for is soft, gentle poetry about anything you would like.




ideas:

gentle- goodbye

gentle- thoughts

gentle- reminders

gentle- moments

gentle- environments

gentle- remembrances

gentle- waves

gentle- people

gentle- cries


(even if u r not in a gentle mood because of something that might be going on in your life, try to use this oppurtunity as a chance to bring yourself to a quiet place of relaxation. that is the moment i am looking to find in the poems i want to read.)

I could go on and on. those are provided for ideas to work with.





please take it where your emotions find themselves,
and have fun with it.

please make it good. i am looking for things that catch my eye. gentle words and descriptions and imagery if you know how to use it, please do so.

have fun with it.






BEFORE YOU ASK:

THE LIST ABOVE IS IDEAS, NOT EXPECTATIONS. YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT AS A TITLE OR A LISTED OPTION.
