CD: Windstorm

Carpe Diem ~ Dividing Wind

winds whipping through field
we find shelter in the hut
huddling 'til its gone

***

winds of avignon
chilling warm september days
mistral from the sea



The prompt reminded me of the mistral when we were in France. Gorgeous clear blue skies and temperatures in the 80s except for three days when the mistral came through and shut down the sidewalk cafes making the city almost a ghost town.

  1. Thank you for 'mistral' a wind system I was unaware existed. So glad you found a cozy hut for hiding out!

  2. I love these. And all you can do is take shelter and hope the wind doesn't take the hut, too.
