Pirate Wind

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Blustering in from sea;
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boist'rously.

His skin is weather-beaten;
He wears a yellow sash,
With a handkerchief red about his head.
And a bristling black mustache.

He laughs as he storms the country,
A loud laugh and a bold;
And the trees all quake and shiver and shake,
As he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Pillaging just for fun;
He'll snatch your hat as quick as that,
And laugh to see you run!

Mary Jane Carr


"The autumn wind's a pirate" Mary Jane uses a pirate to discribe the wind. The poem is basicly about weather so with out the use of weather its just talking about a pirate. The poem is a whole simily saying the wind is like a pirate. This poem told me that the wind is strong
