Catching the Drift

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Catching The Drift.

 

Who has heard the very first whisper
Of sonorous change catching the drift
In a tremulous breeze chimera quivers 
And metallic poles shudder with myriads 
Of different tones from hung wind-chimes.

 

Who has measured the softest rustle
Of strings partaking in air's fresh bustle
Playing keyed symphonies by gentle rote
With melodic weight-change in tuned notes
Made by a slow swing of my resonant chimes.


Who has explained this exotic draw
Of transfixing music, ringing in chorus
Of pipes suspended in air reflecting wind
In continual singing duets as ether's mystic 
Spell strikes again my rhythmic wind-chimes.

        Lovely words Faye and a fine tribute to Aeolus - the God of Winds!

        • Fay Slimm.

          Glad that Aeolus maybe impressed with my humble words. Thank you so much for your visit and comment.

          A well engineered set of chimes does lend something almost magical in the right position. Did have such a set once; I'm afraid no more. There's no 'right position' now. Your well engineered poem must be the substitute, Fay.

            Good that you think as I do Dave that wind in well-,made chimes brings a magic to any outdoor activity - - garden chores would be harder without my many chimes...........

            Loving the breezy like style here Fay, as I was reading, I really felt that I was enraptured in the outdoors; hearing those chimes.

            Bravo, and I hope all is well.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Wonderful words Fay, those chimes combine with Nature's Symphony giving us more glory.

                I thought you would like this wind-borne tribute to chimes dear Andy - I find them exciting yet calming too.

                'In a tremulous breeze chimera quivers
                And metallic poles shudder with myriads
                Of different tones from hung wind-chimes.'
                yet another beautifully worded poem dear Fay,
                the literary - literal, flurry
                of Spring's humming murmur celebrating
                its imminent budding
                captured so poetically acutely..
                in my humble opinion

                • Fay Slimm.

                  And I humbly thank you for your generous review of Catching the Drift dear L.B.
