John Sloan “Sun and Wind on the Roof”
Hello wind
welcome
have you come
to help with laundry
you feel briskly spring today
yet warm and silky
spilling in between
my things
you slip so satiny
shy and silent
slyly sensuous
round my shoulders
your rays of buttery sun
warm and sweet
golden on my neck
satisfying as a summer breeze
oh willful wind
I must say
as you waft and tumble
you tantalize
floating and swooping
in sweet refresh
handling my things
with such care
as I hang each piece
you dance gently
up my arms
rustle my dress
playfully
you brush my cheek
you swirl ‘round me
at times firmly insistent
rocking me
then teasingly soft
your whispered rushes
fluttered breaths
feel like a lover’s tendings
affectionate strokes
that caress my skin
lilting tender
you’re a soothing breath
as your zephyr’d fingers
toss my hair
oh wind
so frisky
have you come
only to help with laundry

“Lilting tender, you’re a soothing breath as your zephyr’d fingers toss my hair.” Damn fine wordsmanship, brother. Only you could fine eros within the folds of linen and the puffs of wind. I love it. Another terrific rocking of the prompt.
Thanks Glenn! Well, the lady is bored, doing a thankless menial task, I tell tell by her dress that the wind is caressing her — her mind wanders into a daydream, and voila brother… “Oh Wind”! 🙂
This is delightful, cheeky, and fun.
Glad you enjoyed it Anna! 🙂
Your version of March wind has seduced me. Shame on you. Love this one, Rob!
You can’t see me blushing Helen… 😉
Rob, your honoring the wind in its gentleness instead of its fury is appreciated. I like how you mixed tentative eroticism into this as well.
Thank you Lisa. My mind fleeing from the horror of the moment.
Love the playful and frisky wind to help out in the laundry.

“Wind has a libido!” 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 I just saw that as I was ready to comment.
Such a playfully sensuous ode to the wind, Rob. And I certainly can’t disagree. A warm gentle breeze definitely caresses. So delightful. Thank you!
My laughing emoticon was changed to question marks.
I fixed your smiley faces… 🙂
Well, very special breezes do have libidos Merril. 😉 Glad you enjoyed this! 🙂 Kenny Loggins sings here that they have “Wills” — so why not a Libido? 😉
Wonderfully intimate!
Thank you Mary! 🙂
Oh this is absolutely stunning! Stunning write, Rob 😀 I especially love; “your rays of buttery sun warm and sweet
golden on my neck satisfying as a summer breeze.”
