Thanks for your input, Grae. THis was actuially written for a contest. There's a local arts center here that does an annual "Poetography" exhibition. One wires poems for displayed photos, the poems are juried and matched with the photos. This pic was of a very charming old windmill, rusty w/sails missing, that looked like it had been operational in the mid forties.
Write on!

The Winds Now Blow in Vane.
Well constructed write upon the windmill's demise. Great allusion to the sailing ships upon the sea. Lots of vivid imagery to give us the picture of age and neglect, but still with a resident 'Starling crew'.
The tale flows well and although rhyme is not uppermost the whole work is ordinately satisfying.
Thank you for the read, Faith - take care - Grae. |

Rosemary -- thanks for reading! I'm getting such good ideas for titles.
Wayne -- YES!! Somebody got my Quixote reference... glad you like.
Kelly -- I'm sorta leaning toward that title too. Thanks so much for your 2cents.
Diane -- I value you're opinion. Thanks for reading & commenting! |

this is definitely the best windmill poem i have ever read as well. even don quixote would fall in love with the morose objects after reading this. i especially like
"At morning tide, her Starling crew
scans the horizon beyond
the rigging for shadows
of the world's fortunes."
all the s sounds are vivid and tasty.
this one is good. |
