Could you please give my poem your opinions?

The wind's blowing

so hard with its intention

to knock me down,

causing me to sway

so flowerlike, planting

my feet like a flower's

roots in the Earth.



I sway and sway

so wildly I could

float up and

travel in the wind

like a lonesome seed.



But no matter

how frigid air violently

nibbles at my skin,

no matter how frail

my bones become

from use and abuse,

I will not tumble and fall!



You, wind, will

never make me fall like

snow, melting from

the caress of the warm

breeze, then gone

and forgotten

within the moist

soil.

Could you please give my poem your opinions?
Your last stanza, to me, doomed a very nice poem. I also did not like the word abuse in the third stanza, seemed out of place for the theme. Perhaps you could tighten the wording throughout. The first stanza for example:

The wind's blowing,

hard its intention

to knock me down,

it causes me to sway

my feet take root

like a springtime flower



Just a thought, overall a piece worth spending more time on. I have many myself that "stew".
