The wind is like a whirling dervish,
it whorls and spins,
is this frenzied dance
part of the sky’s enlightenment?
Or perhaps just lifting golden leaves
into its bosom to fly,
to tickle the water and blow
the hat off the man next door.

This plays so fancifully with the wind! I love how you bring it right down to toppling the hat off the man next door! Beautiful verse!
