MAKING MYTHS [8] LET GO
Anxious. For night, 
Angry is its might
October demons capture Wind
Twisting her so
She pull away
And in so doing
Oops! roofs are ripped away

Let go you demons
Let go of Wind
That she may finds butterflies
To scallop and sway

Oh but jealous of
Tonight's supermoon
The October demons
Make faces at the sun
Torturing Wind to daytime havock

    Gillena, I love that second stanza especially, rhetorically that direct address works so well, rebuking the "demons that capture the wind." I also liked your unique use of "scallop," and the bewitching quality of the normally gentle wind with butterflies. It must be the nerve-wracking hurricane season. I hope you and yours weather it alright. 🙏🏽💖

    When the elements and planets feud we suffer. I'd much rather the wind scallop butterflies (such a beautiful idea.)

    Hurricane season must indeed be an anxious time, |Gillen, and I hope you stay safe. I love the thought of October demons capturing the wind, and the way you address them in the second stanza.

    Nature can be vicious too, and especially in autumn
