This wind is for the birds

Our flights all grounded
we wait for snow-
whirled howling cold

Front-porch chimes clashing
morning kids rushed by rain-
swirled leaves, hatless
long hair flying

For PAD Chapbook Challenge Day 17 prompt: (blank) is for the birds.

“Front-porch chimes clashing

Wonderful description in so few lines! The long hair flying is the clincher.

  I’m glad you like it. That line came along late, but I waited for it. 🙂

Ok. So you are seriously channeling Emily! I love the weather and wet hair and gloomy snow coming.
