That Tempestuous Wind

Have I mentioned the wind? It's
worth a mention, hard to ignore,
bringing in another weather front
something it is so adept at, ushering 
in the unwanted, shoving around the
pleasant temperatures we've been
basking in as summer draws its 
veil close and casual leisure and
admirable garden displays begin to
wane. Warblers call their soft trills
to one another and on clear nights
shooting stars briefly light their
way southward. Wind interferes
with hummingbirds' and butterflies'
seasonal migration. Indifferent to
the complications it blows our way
the temperature drops and so do
dead branches and foliage, whisked
unmercifully from the woodland canopy
as wind roars through the atmosphere
aggressive in its destructive power
aimlessly wreaking havoc, felling trees.
