Thank you John :)

I really like this Rachel.
I wonder if L2 read 'my wind tangled hair' whether it would tighten it just a bit and add a touch of Akiko. Either way a lovely poem.

Paul, thank you. That does tighten it beautifully.

I think you need to remove that second 'my' in line two.

Oh! I concur!
The second 'my' was a typo left behind after an edit.
