What a great image blended with such poetic words.
"as though a surgeon's knife
sliced through sky's heart
rip roaring red no sutures
as crimson clots appear"
Then the whole next stanza
"they spread it bleeds
it plasters heaven's highway
reflected in evening's dark
salty waters
skyscape slaughter"
Great lines Chris

I have seen a few wind and solar farms. I never thought of them as "eyesores" but rather, a usefully purposed bit of real estate. I do think the wind turbines are rather romantic while the fields of solar panels look like a slick, black ballroom floor, freshly waxed. I enjoyed the entirety; great descriptions and word usage throughout. F.

I often feel like wind turbines look like soldiers standing guard, I loved this analogy

I really would have liked to be your 60th hit, but I couldn't wait any longer .. so 59th will have to suffice .. couldn't agree more though .. a near perfect capture in my most humble of opinions .. Neville

I too am fascinated by these turbines. They are ugly beasts and loud, bird killing factories. At night, at a distance, they are quiet sentinels bathing in red ominous light off the highway somewhere. In a certain setting they are wondrous machines. And they aren't ruining our air. And they don't require risky drilling. And they churn up the sky leaving a beautiful sunset.

I am all for clean air, prefer them offshore, but hate that they kill birds. Have a good Monday and thank you for the friend request.

Thank you for sharing a snapshot of your life. I am honored to the privilege of reading it!
Beautifully articulated in a way I didn't see. I've always found them to be slightly hypnotic. Driving by and drifting off. Great work Chris.

I prefer the turbines in the sea, but I don’t mind the odd ones on land. We have a few near us. I pondered on Carol :)) who is she I thought:) Anyway, I am so delighted you enjoy my poetry.

I love your imagery, especially the ending, horizons black ribbon line. I also enjoyed the metaphor, the surgeon’s knife. You manage to take things we see all the time, and transform it to art with your poetry. Love all your poems!
