A poem (not one of mine!)

So, I'm kinda pretty busy at the moment: working, writing and generally getting from one day to the next. My novel is coming along slowly, but I have a strong theme and a lot of research to do which is fun.
My son is currently learning about creative writing in school, and last week he was asked to write a poem about wind. This is what he wrote:
The Blustering Wind
Who has seen the wind?
Blowing down the trees
Leaves blowing down the street
Water jumping up and down
and gates flying open and closed.
Who has heard the wind?
Rustling through the leaves
The wind howls like a wolf
and crashes through the trees.
Balls blowing away from children
Birthday cards blowing out of windows
Models blow off window-sills
and break in pieces on the floor.
My son is 8, and this is his first poem. He'd love to know what you think of it.
