THIS DAY A WINDMILL
The Windmill ruled with motion but today it was just still
An unadjusted stance and ungathered blades askance
A Frozen Titan statued from breezes nil
A wish for wind desired, needed, unconsidered by half its kinetic pair, this a breach that can’t be reached or achieved or earned or fair
The Titan’s magic coarsely halted , a status bent with all recourse bare
A sentence thrust by Nature”s fuss a captive ‘til
Nature deems to submit its share
The day she said she no longer loved me
She denied the one more chance I yearned
She held nature’s power over my destiny
Now she can’t be reached with no change achieved or earned
Like that windmill stilled , stripped of choice and will,
A captive’s fate
A bitter pill

It happens doesn't it .. and then we go on and look for more of it .. one small circle for a windmill but one hell of a twist for mankind .. Neville
That’s pretty exact.
I loved the complex but most satisfying rhyme in this piece The metaphor also complex works well (that is if the wind is blowing) An enjoyable read Bobby
I’ve been trying to refine my use of metaphor. Trying to sweep in one sentence “impact” ,. Not quite there yet as. I used the whole poem??
Baby steps
Powerful work, Bobby. You nailed it.
So still and motionless is this windmill…hardly a description of Mr Bobby O-beats being spun round and round…
Two taps on my heart
