Please write what you think this poem means. Mention the title. Why do you think the author writes that the winds "say" something? In real life, the wind cannot speak. What are your thoughts about the wind managing to speak?
WHAT THE WIND SAIDThe delta winds blows up the Sacramento River,
taking the edge off of the summer heat.
This wind makes the tree tops dance,
and it tells us this, "This life isn't everything.
There is more, just beyond the sky."

Here is another poem by Mr. Jobe. Please read it, and write what you think the poem is about, and why he uses different words and phrases to describe the mood of the poem. Is the mood sad? Is the mood angry? Is the mood happy? What is the mood?
Stupidity is both binding
And blinding.
We are travelers, walking
Until we are weary,
Searching for the light.
We might call it moonlight,
But really it is our own salvation
That we seek.

TRAVELERS, WALKING
We are travelers, walking
A long road to the full moon.
We can't see ahead
And we won't look behind. Stupidity is both binding
And blinding.
We are travelers, walking
Until we are weary,
Searching for the light.
We might call it moonlight,
But really it is our own salvation
That we seek.
