Fan Tastic

FAN-TASTIC The fan spins on the ceiling, Like a robin’s wings, it flutters. Casting soft, spinning shadows On white, wood-window shutters. Does it know, how lovely it is? The calico cat enjoys its coolness. The dainty pull-chains nod...yes! As the fresh cool air, it happily pushes. A fan, so greatly unappreciated. Yet it serves us day and night. It just does its job, with all its might. Just a fan~~simple, unsophisticated! 6-16-2022 ~2~

Hey Tom...where I live it’s year round))) I can’t be in a room where A fan or fans are not moving the air...The ceiling ones can be set in winter to make the most of the heat. In summer, opposite direction keeps room colder. Love them. Panagiota xx

Excellent poetry! Some of your best! "Like a robin’s wings, it flutters. Casting soft, spinning shadows On white, wood-window shutters." Yes, it knows~the spirit intelligence moving its wings of eagle joy. It serves, humbly and simply, with a short, unpunctuated name like many truly good things. You get a FAV!
