Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

by Carl Sandburg

Write using personification i.e. the object you chose is a person
Must use interesting verbs (use a thesaurus please)
No spelling or grammatical mistakes

Wind

The wind comes like a cheetah
that burst into the ground.
When the wind comes into my window

it sounds like a ghost coming in my room.

The wind makes me cold when the wind is bursting hard on me.
