Windy Day at the Lake (imagery workshop)

windy day at Cooper's lake
a wind storm takes shape
dark clouds spin tornadoes
across clear blue water

a picture on my cellphone
running for the basement door
my dress tail caught a draft
I parachuted safe inside

didn't label your work as being Kinetic, I can see that is what it is. I can just see you with your dress puffed full of air, slowly drifting down to safety. Nice job! ~ Gee

I labeled it kenetic but took it out to see if kenetics was clearly seen.
These senses terms are knew to me great workshop

There's a bit of visual here also but it doesn't detract from the poem. Staying with only one type is not as easy as it first appears is it? lol..........stan

Barbara Writes

Just kenetic is not so easy just as you said.
I just figure a little visual with lots of motion
Would still work
glad it works .

Barbara Writes

Not sure which ill choose, but is meditating to see which I will rewrite. Hopefully just one sense more closely this time

Great jpb on kenetics! I could NOT have done as well. Loved this:

my dress tail caught a draft
I parachuted safe inside
