Summer Wind
The summer wind blows from the north
Bringing those days of endless heat.
Seeing haze rising from the street.
Culling all wishes to go forth
Ryter Roethicle
Winter Wind
The winter wind in scurries squeals
in icy waves that sweep away
all thoughts of warmth as branches sway
exposing limbs, in cold reveals
Gloria Carpenter
Spring Wind
In spring, a breeze blows from the west;
A breath as gentle as a sigh;
And with it, soft tears from the sky;
Relief at passing winter's test.
