My slant on it after the wind blew in from the sea.

The best feedback I ever got on a poem came from someone who had no reason to be kind.
That's the idea behind Penpal Poets.
And now
it has become a twilight sky,
far beyond the blue trees
a crow flying.
—Miyazawa Kenji, translated by Hiroaki Sato (a tanka from 1918)

"Imperfect".
Latest in a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starts with the last line of another poet's poem. (Very much a first draft.)

Today’s #7syllablesquad prompt is #wind
Is the wind lifting your soul
Or does it grind you right down?
Can the wind treat you gently
Or does it sweep you away?
