The last time we spoke,
the sun was out, the day was bright
and Poppy View was adorned with light.
But tonight as I type,
a howling wind is on the prowl.
Fierce and voracious, it roars and growls,
eager to pluck and snatch and sweep
its light and innocent prey off their tiny feet!
And NOT for love!
I hope all the little creatures find
a sturdy place to which the wind is blind,
 |
| from my terrace |
to spend the night, safe and sound,
until that ferocious squall's no longer around!
 |
| from my terrace |
Now, I ask you,
where's that wandering Winnie when you really need him?
I'm singin' that wicked wind away! Won't you join me?
Is it a 'Windsday' Wednesday where you are?
Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeletePoppy, You are a clever lady! You turned a cold windy day into a charming post. Great poem, too! Simply clever! Christa
ReplyDeleteVery witty Poppy!
ReplyDeleteStay cozy inside.
We have a little wind here but not like you described. Your pictures are beautiful and I love your poem. Great post and thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMary
We've had some windy days here lately. Very cute poem, Poppy ! And you know I love your gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteHello Poppy,
ReplyDeleteI love the play on words "Windsday" I shall think of that when next the wind blows. I hope by now the wind has subsided and all is well in our wonderland.
Thanks for your visit and wishing you sunshine

Fun post. And beautiful photos!

This is just darling (and beautiful pictures as always!!). Winnie The Pooh takes me back to the years when I was a young mom. Such a wonderful cast of characters and beautiful story line.
ReplyDeleteHope your week is going well Poppy!
We had a Windsday last week and it was scary!! I walked to school to bring my daughter home and I couldn't help but think a branch could break and fall on us. I loved the second paragraph (or is a verse more proper here?) about the wind sweeping prey off their feet. That was very well written, friend! Have a happy day :-)
ReplyDeleteVery high winds on Monday morning / thankfully no so bad now. Just cold. Love your cute little story and poem, Wordsmith! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is rather a blustery Windsday in hundred acre woods and a blustery day in Poppy's wonderful world. Sending some sunshine your way dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Aida
Sounds like a Windsday that at least would be fun with you around to entertain. We are having continued brutally COLD weather in KY, and in Atlanta, GA, over 900 accidents last evening from a Winter snow storm, which they never get...yes send me the wind please ;)
ReplyDeleteOh it can be a A Winnie the Pooh 'Anyday', as far as I am concerned. I love, love, love Winnie the Pooh!
ReplyDeleteAnd remember reading 'Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day' to my oldest Granddaughter. :-)))))))
thank you for sweet Winnie the Pooh memories.
And thank you for your lovely photos and whimsical prose.

Warm Wednesday With Wild Waves in our part of the West.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a freezing day here! Love Winnie-the-Pooh (and Tigger too). Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos. "ta ta for now"
ReplyDeletein oklahoma the wind is ALWAYS sweepin' down the plain! it's an odd day here when the wind ISN"T blowing! LOLOL. we're just happy when it's not a tornado.
ReplyDeletei could sit on your terrace (well maybe not this windy windsday there!) and look at your magnificient views. but you live in heaven i think!
eyeore's my favorite.
xoxo ♥
I trust you haven't been swept away by the wind!
ReplyDeletePoppy you have the most beautiful views in your area. The wind was horrible here a few nights ago. It played tricks in the night. Turning over the garbage can, etc. Enjoy that sun.
ReplyDeleteSherry
It is Wednesday night here right now and funny you should ask...yes, the winds are howling here! I can hear it through my windows. So thankful for my warm home.
ReplyDeleteThese views are just stunning. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteΗ θέα από το σπίτι σου είναι υπέροχη, Πόπη.Το αγαπημένο κρητικό τοπίο που θυμάμαι από τα χρόνια των σπουδών μου στο Ηράκλειο.Θυμάμαι, αυτή την εποχή, τη γη να είναι στολισμένη με κατακίτρινα αγριολούλουδα.Σ' ευχαριστώ που με τις όμορφες φωτογραφίες σου με ταξιδεύεις σ' εκείνη την γλυκιά εποχή.
ReplyDeleteRainy day Wednesday here, but that's not nearly as alliterative. Beautiful views and I didn't feel the wind at all.
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your posts, Poppy, and they are all wonderful! Yes, we had a windy Windsday here, but then we often have wind out on the Great Plains. I enjoyed the video! I have the same Mary Englebreit address book in your previous post! And you are such a pretty lady! Blessings, Bess
ReplyDeleteWe have had so many Windsdays here in the states lately, Poppy and it's getting a little tiresome. I love your perspective on things, always able to see the light side of life. I mean if Winnie the Pooh is involved it must be good! :) I'll try to keep him (and you!) in mind the next time the wind starts to blow! :) Kim
ReplyDeleteI have heard that Crete can get some whoppers when it comes to wind; is this true? It has continued to be gray and cold and icy here but by the weekend on Sunday it is supposed to be near 70 F --what extremely different weather patterns we are having here in SC! I have a gold old sore throat so I am taking it very easy!
ReplyDeleteI meant good old---and it came out gold old.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIt matters not that the winds are blowing in Crete, for if it has Ms. Poppy, the day is sunny and bright.
ReplyDeleteVery cute post! I love how you tied it all together with Winnie!! Yes, we have had bitter cold windy days here in the northeast of the US. It is warm here today at 35 degrees!
ReplyDeleteVery cute play on words..ain't Pooh clever! I hope you haven't been blown away by now. You pics are breathtaking and looking at the wide open lay of the land I suppose a wind could really get to rolling.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture from a beautiful person, do have a wonderful weekend!
Poppy,
ReplyDeleteYou know this wind is all over the universe-I remember a time when the wind went down with the Sun and now it howls relentlessly throughout the days and nights. It tosses us here and there and ruins our hair!
I have always, enjoyed Winnie the Pooh and his sweet escapades.
Have a lovely weekend dearest Poppy~
Love,
Jemma
This is the sweetest post! It wasn't a Windsday Wednesday here in NJ/NY, but it sure was FREEZING! I love that you label the views on your photos. I can't get over your terrace views! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhen the wind blows on your hillside it must be very wild and windy indeed!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so lovely...and I loved being reminded of Pooh! He is so timelessly comforting, isn't he? Always brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely thoughts and blog. It is a blessing. Hugs, Cheryl
ReplyDeleteOH, Pooh Bear! I haven't thought of him, or of Eyore (so?) in an age!
ReplyDeleteYour view is so amazing - how I would love to visit you. It'd be a dream come true.
Stay warm and dry and safe and happy! Hugs!
I hope the weather has improved for you!
ReplyDeleteActually we are having a beautiful Sunday so far! I love Winnie the Pooh and the cute song. I am just loving your gorgeous views! Lovely scenic images. Poppy, I wish you a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteAren't you the clever one which makes your post such a fun read!
ReplyDeleteIt's Sunday evening here and there's no wind. I even worked in the yard a little, cleaning up some of the garden beds in preparation for spring. But it's supposed to get colder this week again. Lovely collages and a really fun post, Poppy.
ReplyDeleteThis wonderous post is so appropriate right about now! We are having a very Windsday here in California, U.S. Thanks for sharing on Inspire me Monday on Sunday =)
ReplyDeleteHi there!
DeleteIf you see this reply to your comment above, please let me know. I tried all of your contact features, including trying to comment on your red chair makeover, on your blog, but there was no such place to do so when I clicked on the button! Your chair turned out beautifully, love the fabric and the red shade you chose; simply wonderful!
Poppy
Forgot to mention that I tried to email you as well, but you are a no reply-comment blogger!
DeleteI love Winnie the Pooh and isn't the animation adorable.
ReplyDeleteI think you're getting the end of our storms, that pass by Magali's place on the way (I think you know Magali and her blog, in France !).
Actually I love the sea when it is stormy, but it's still so hard imagining all the people with flooded houses and all the farms that have lost livestock and the poor wild animals in the West of Britain.
