Sundown and Wind Farms

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

skyscape slaughter

as golden sol

slips slowly beyond

horizon's black ribbon line

while hours pass on by

building clean energy

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

They are hypnotic to me. I could watch them for hours. It makes me drift into thought and I find myself becoming peace. I’m not quite sure why.

I could see how some would think them an eye sore blotting out natures beauty but I don’t see them that way.

[Chris Shaw]

I also find them mesmerising. They have their own hypnotic type of beauty. I love them. Saw some yesterday. Saluting the sky. Many thanks PB. Appreciate you stopping by. All good wishes.

I've seen these giant fans before when I go back to my mother's hometown to visit family. And once my eyes meet with those fans I'm in awe of them. Sometimes i think what if one of those things were to come loose and tumble across the wide open field. its fascinating, really. Just as I am about your writing about it : )

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you for stopping by to review this poem. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Not good for the birds but thumbs up for clean energy. A nicely written poem Chris in structure and imagery.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Andrew. Have to agree. Great for clean energy, not so good for the birds. Appreciate your thoughts here.

A nice vision depicted.
I liked way it flows.
It's a nice piece over all.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Melinda for your thoughts. Much appreciated.

Interesting view of these unique looking contraptions
I have yet to see any in Canada, they may be here somewhere, but I think they'd be an interesting landscape feature
Actually I'd like to see them able to convert into huge fans that help folks cool off during those super hot summer days
Good subject matter

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Dave. Maybe you've got a business idea bubbling away there. Who knows there could be possibilities for giant fans. O
In the meantime I am happy they are producing clean energy while being quite fascinating to look at. Pleased you checked in.

Like everything tlse windmills have their good and bad features. so what is mankind to do?

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks for your thoughts Dale. We need clean energy which isn't going to destroy the planet. There is always a down side isn:t there? I appreciate you checking in.

Hey Chris.
The poem is quite different,
Being a doctor, I was more attracted towards the surgeon's blade.. Hehe.

Love,
Saga of dreams

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much for the smile. Some of our sunsets are very bloody. Add the turbine blades slicing the sky and you have an operating theatre:) Good to have clean energy though. Pleased you checked in.

Wonderful expression within this write, I love to watch them move as wind flows through them in a transparent motion. ;-}

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Weeping willow. I love gazing upwards :) Whether it is at the clouds and their morphing movement or at the night sky and the stars, my head is up there. Take care of yourself and thanks so much for paying me a visit.
