Windy Trees
When the wind gets tired of singing,
It coughs and sputters and laughs.
Its voice grows harsh with stinging shouts,
Groaning for freedom’s sake.
Freedom isn’t free, she mourns,
But many cannot see
The depth of human sacrifice
Groaning for freedom’s sake.
Thanks BEKINDREWRITE!

Oh, I lve the way you made the prompt whole. Beautiful first sentence…”When the wind gets tired of singing,
It coughs and sputters and laughs.”

I love the prompts you supply. I truly am “inspired” by one or more of them. I never struggle to write what shows up here! I “heard” the wind’s song as I read the prompt! I so appreciate your supportive words! Thank you!
