A Long and Winding...Word

Poetic Asides – Poem-A-Day Challenge – Day Nine Prompt:

Today's prompt is to choose a word (any word) and then write a poem either about that word or using that word in different ways. Be sure to point out which word you're writing about.

Wind
March winds
bluster and blow
as I walk
down this road
that winds through
my neighborhood

strands of hair
wind around
each other
like pieces of string
tangling in the wind
as I walk along

stepping in time
like the ticking clock
in the library
of my home

don’t let me forget
to wind it
with the brass key
when I get back there
winded but glad
I walked today
