It drove the leaves of spring to dance
tossed the tree tops hither thither
made the puddles shudder dither
oscillated the telegraph wires
threw sporadic raindrops
onto surfaces that strummed
like drums
knocked the gates staccato locks
disturbed the willows by the brook
spun the weathercock quite wildly
north and south got lost
turned the paper ******* over
summersaulting on
to thwack against the pillar box
the flagpoles wimple flapping
the strings against the pole repeated knocks
copied the currents in the river
though unseen
save for the waving of the crops
