*Image of La Bourrasque by FKR. The Gust of Wind A gust hath burst, As she traversed, A short-cut to, Broad avenue, Her black silk dress, Looped to a mess, Struggled full-length, Maintained her strength, Her matching shawl, Challenging haul, Onward she pushed, Hasty ambushed, The trail seemed gone, As she dragged on, Rounds disturbed leaves, As the squall heaves, Determined will, Since birth instill, The end result, Foresees exult, She soon arrived, As winds hath died, Wholly tangle, Loose hair dangle, She made no care, About her hair, Appointment yon, Beauty salon. 2022 October 19 *1st Place* Painting prompted ~~Lisa YY: Judged 2022 October 29 RZ & HMS; 4 syllables per 28 lines.
