far from finding
wind farms an eyesore
they stay a fascination as
offshore turbines salute
a fast dimming sky
from Roan beach
carbon fibre blades rotate
as moderate winds
aid graceful clockwise
turning
row on row they stand
embracing air
as though a surgeon’s knife
sliced through sky’s heart
rip roaring red no sutures
as crimson clots appear
they spread it bleeds
it plasters heaven’s highway
reflected in evening’s dark
salty waters
skyscrape slaughter
as golden sol
slips slowly beyond
horizon’s black ribbon line
while hours pass on by
building clean energy

Dear Cassie your imagery is fantastic I could almost feel that wind, we have them close to Pisa, they are enormous and they actually do a super job, a brilliant and most informative peice of poetry. Happy Friday ❤️
Dear Teddy, thank you so much. I have to say I am enjoying all the spelling mistakes in all the responses I have been receiving from all the poets today😂 Can I join in? Have a great evening. 🌹
Did I make one? LoL 😂
Everyone!s making them today. Are you all pulling my leg😂
lol oh my it's a cider atak then... 🤣 🌹
LOL, it’s Friday, maybe it figures 🍷🌹
❤️
Such vivid imagery in this poem.
"as though a surgeon’s knife
sliced through sky’s heart
rip roaring red no sutures
as crimson clots appear "
Really very good poetic lines Cassie.
Thank you so much Soren. I do try to get the imagery across as best I can. I appreciate your thoughts very much on this poem.
It's not an issue of as best you can I think Shakespear said the same.
I think Shakespeare had an e at the end of his name when I was at school Soren. Are you joining in the fun with all the spelling mistakes on my responses today. 😂
Never was a good speller and the one on site is keyed to Portugese so it is what it is
Thank you Cassie for another enjoyable read
Thank you Tobani for stopping by and for your nice comment. Much appreciated. All good wishes.
You are very welcome, have a good weekend
Great poem, Cassie. Clean energy is the way to go. Of course nothing has zero impact. These lines reminded me of that:
"row on row they stand
embracing air
as though a surgeon’s knife
sliced through sky’s heart
rip roaring red no sutures
as crimson clots appear "
Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but I think of the wildlife, particularly birds, that get "sacrificed" (if you will) for such clean energy. That said, it is not a reason to stop using wind (like some people try to argue)...as look at what oil does to the wildlife...let alone the planet. So, a far safer and CLEANER source of energy for sure. One that people have been using for the longest time actually. Anyway, all of that to say, this poem is not only beautifully rendered, it touches on such an important topic as well. 🙏🌹👏
I do know about our avian friends being sacrificed on the blades and that of course is a sadness Tristan. Clean energy is the way to go, but not if it decimates the economy by going too fast. Sorry politics came in there. Our government has got a net zero policy that will bankrupt us 🙂 Enough of that. I am thankful for your very positive review and for enjoying this piece. I appreciate you stopping by.
Oh...no apologies needed...I get that. For sure and as with anything government led, it's full engines ahead without caring about the consequences...both ecological and economical. So, I hear you, my friend! Glad I was at least on the right track with the imagery, if not exactly going to politics...but, right with you! Balance is always key and there seems to be nothing but imbalance in the world anymore! Blessings upon you Cassie. I hope your day has been a good one...leading into an amazing weekend, my friend. ❤️
Good write C.
Thank you Orchi. Hope you are looking after the lovely KP. I expect you have bought her flowers for the weekend:)
Yes, a bunch of weeds! lol.
Shakespear lol ok now I'm really enjoying this one dear Cassie and sorrenbarret 🌹💐 take your bows
Maybe just sunset and wind? Oh what a different picture and smell lol off to annoy my loved ones now ❤️
Had they made them prettier in shape (not economically appealing to the magnates I imagine) would probably imaginable mark them more attractive to the subscribing public). But when was the last time any of 5hem really cared for the little people. Oops, went off on a tangent there… a thousand pardons.
You are right arqios, governments don’t care about the electorate, they have their own agenda:) I like wind farms, but in moderation. I don’t want all our countryside plastered in them. Thanks for stopping by. Have a good weekend
Definitely not! That would be an eyesore and probably not exactly go for the fauna.
From the very first sighting I loved the look of those graceful structures (Form and function and all that.)
Your poem is a fitting tribute to them, many thanks, Cassie.
Side issues: I don’t detect any spelling errors here; none in mine if my disciplinarian spell checker has any say. If you find any, at any time, please let me know directly.
Wasn’t particularly aware of those avian tragedies; how reliable are the studies?
Hello Dave, the birds do get caught in the blades. I have no idea of stats. This poem was more about a blood red sunset. Don’t you worry about your spellings now. Nothing wrong with yours. I had five responses recently all with typos, most unusual for the people concerned. I just noticed. I like wind farms and find the movement of the blades quite calming. However, wouldn’t want them all over our countryside. Many thanks for stopping by. Have a good weekend.
Thanks for getting back to me, Cassie.
Not to pursue the subject, but just to mention, there are occasional encounters with those blades, but avian fatalities are minimal, I understand, compared with depredations by cats, both feral and domestic plus, in Australia other feral beasties. Also loss of habitat through large scale agriculture.
Take care of yourself.
Good write, Cassie.
Thank you Jerry.
Fine words Cassie, I like watching those windmills out at sea, they are so calming.
Andy
Thank you Andy I agree, they can be calming to look at. Just hope our countryside doesn’t get too many. Have a good weekend.
