Changeling.

 

 

Changeling.

 

Invisible dancer, Air moves with ease
buoyantly changing its imprint
on earth's waiting surface of seasons,
windswept Air broadcasts ferment
of mutating chicanery
by use of weathered uncertainty.

Air creates dazzle-white sculptures
with sudden modified ease
producing from ice-laden snow
blinding swirls of high drifts,
warms to windless slush then blows
up a tornado bent on mischief.

Air creates dazzle-white sculptures
with sudden modified action
producing from autumnal currents
a light as feathers swirling in drifts
of falling-leaf gentleness then
blows up a tornado bent on mischief.

Spring to Winter  gives wicked chances

for manic Air-driven sprees

when many a hat or knicker on line

is lifted to tango before disappearing.  

And when sunk in summer depression
Air forgets to ruffle small waves,
limp sails need bellows for ventures
but changeling ether favours no bluster
of demon breath when ballet-laced
breeze tip-toes on sea making no fuss. 

From waltz to flamingo on coastal hills
Air loves feeling freedom where
clifftops let Divas hone ever more skills.

This poem holds brilliant meter which is both gift and lesson, Fay! You pop in words as sounds poetic and form alliances that seem instinctive! As to the descriptive passages they have touches of the Lakeland Poets, '.. ether favours no bluster - of demon breath when ballet-laced - breeze tip-toes on sea making no fuss.' Must all be due to the Cornish air.. thank you!

How kind to think of my writing at the same time as the Lakeland poets - -- an honour indeed dear emma and thank you. So pleased you enjoyed the read of Changeling.

I did and so very much, Fay. Should have mentioned your selected picture too, it's more than appropriate. x. Smiles coming your way.
