I always thought they would be a soothing sound but then again I have never been right up next to them. I know people complain they are an eye sore but I rather like them not as much as I admire those in Holland as I have several delft blue pieces from there but I like the windmills. Lovely piece Chris;) still working slowly through your archives

Hi Chris, I can't remember if there are any wind farms in the Forth as yet. It has been a few years since I have been near the Forth. I know there was a couple of rigs there, eye soars they were. Who knows if they are gone. I love the content of this piece. You paint a wonderful image with your soft words. Your song sings with meaning. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always....Mike.

You are welcome Chris. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs always....Mike.
No wind farms on the Severn Estuary as yet Chris, albeit they are highly praiseworthy - I guess there is still too much sea-traffic heading up to the vast Docks at Avonmouth and Portbury - of a Summer's evening, one can see the huge array of new cars gleaming in the low sun at the Portbury Docks where they have recently been offloaded, most of them from Japan I am surmising. I like this piece, and again it has a very visual, painterly feel to it.

I live on a farm and i love it here, the way the fog lingers around and the sound of the animals that I attend to as well. It's peaceful, I enjoyed your write. It is wonderful

Thank you Katzie for stopping by. You are appreciated.
Wind farms and poetry, Who'da thunkit?
You not only pulled it off, you made it entrancing.
I'd have titled it Skyscape Slaughter,
a devilishly Inspired line!

I like them too - something surreal but calming about them :) This is beautifully described Chris, made me think of some sunlit fields for a while - a restful vision :)

Thanks Ruth. I love the way they salute the sky. Pleased you stopped by.
I also find wind farms to be beautiful for many reasons, but you've summed it up so lyrically. Love when you blend imagery with practicality (((HUGS)))

I've always appreciated wind farms. I don't understand why they are seen as "eyesores."
It's an interesting creative choice that here and in your other work you refer to the sun as "sol." It is a very obscure term, mostly familiar to people who study astronomy or maybe Latin. Perhaps you are trying to emphasize that our sun is something to be recognized and not taken for granted, or that it is one star among many? Just my guess. :)

A beautiful description Chris, of magnificent, powerful structures. Where I sail, is on a very windy dam about 60 kms from where I live. Towering over the waters are huge wind towers, standing like sentinels watching us, keeping us safe. A nice read.

Thank you Richard for your lovely review. Happy sailing. Take care.
dearest Chris... modern technology will save us as time goes by.
The Sky moans with thunder and lightening strikes... Wind turbines give us the energy we need.
We are having close encounters with Wind and Rain...
as Thunder rolls through the night.
We are blessed with your poetry. gently, Pat

Albert, my paternal grandfather introduced me to Tennyson when I was nine. I have loved poetry ever since but did not attempt writing a single piece until I was 40. It's never too late to try somethin.. more..
