Best With The Wind Poems

I was an environmental scientist, working with large wind farm developers,
To harness wind and generate electricity, as a plum sun flees, to tell others.

I worked at helping developers comply, with all environmental regulations;
Minimizing the impact to it and populace, like storm tossed petal situations.

I conducted...

It’s such a windy day, what a delight
Daddy says I can go and fly my kite!

We head for the beach to have some fun
Dashing onto the sand I run and run

My kite so blue trails on the beach
I wish it were in the sky out...

The Earth cracks, the plates slide, and we fall of track.
The sun freezes over, and color is beginning to lack.
We fall back, lay in this wake of destruction,
as apocalyptic thoughts grab us, from every direction.

Our life flashes like the lightening in the sky,
the thunder rumbles,...

Love, when I confessed my love you turned away, 
turned to another, I have no will left to stay. 
Your words they crushed me I could never know why. 
Can't you love me like you love her, over you I cry. 
The other men, they...

We watched Gone With The Wind,
at Christmastime-  it was a tradition each year;
with my mother and we each had a tear,
I used to not like the movie that much;
but in time this awesome movie my heart did touch,
with scenes that have ever stayed in...

He sets out for the station
Kitbag on his back
Off to war in Afghanistan
More than likely won't be back

Had a romantic last evening
With a gal known many years
She gave her body willingly
Biting back the engulfing tears

She loved this soldier
Had done for a long time
Knew he was...

during our yesteryears
we made no appointment 
to catch up our close friends
their doors were always open
friendly warm smiles greeted us
whenever we walked into their home

not quite so today
when plans are made
mostly at outside locales
the conversations guarded
idle banter, wit but less warmth 
leaving heart feeling hollow...

Dreams Deferred - Gone with the Wind


Dreams deferred:

Placed on hold
Like unwelcomed telephone calls

Relegated to being bench warmers 
Like second-rate baseball players

Put out to pasture
Like useless cattle past their prime 

Displayed on a shelf
Like tarnished antiques collecting dust

Stored in an old medicine cabinet
Like expired drugs that...

That old bedroom fan makes too much noise
But he sweats after nights with the boys
     I turn and pull the sheets up
     Good Lord, on beans they did sup
Thank goodness the fan his farts deploys

Coming home late,...

Over the sea galloping upon waves 
in the swift uplifting rush of the tide
Chariots of fire blush red the rose swept up 
by the whirlwind holding a breathless whisper

Upon these foundations the rock stands 
sings out one bird of valuable beauty 
sweet music echoing deeply
through...

Life is full of chances
But the number is not known,
Careful steps and sideward glances
Voice our fear of the unknown.

You've never played this game before
You do not know the rules,
Ant through each hand you’ll learn to name
The aces and the fools.

So when you reach the road...

The waves of the trees
Rustle Crackle Break.
The girl
Steps a foot,
And the wind
Steps with her.
Dancing with the wind.

Twirling with the wind
The sky,
The rain,
And the Earth 
Dance with her.

Her hair has turned 
To breeze.
Her mind filled
With the song
Of the voices 
Lifted by the wind.
Her toes do not
Touch...

Gathered with sister, my mother and kleenex,
Oblivious to our red noses, facial poses and tears,
Nudging each other with movie memory reflex -
Each of us embrace characters long held as dear.

We submit joyously to this continuous, intense escape
Inside the lives of scandalous Scarlett and romantic Rhett.
Trials...

Scarlett O' Hara's bonnet  bespeaks,
 "As God as my witness. I'll never be hungry again!"
 It  captures Rhett Butler, Fair Oaks and Tara, 
Survives the Civil War and Ashley's sin.
72 years have passed, that's how long it's been....

Fiddle Dee Dee Scarlet says when asked to nap with the other girls
I want to party she argues, dancing with her feet, her hair in curls
She sneaks down to where the men are and takes Ashley off
Expressing her love which is rebuffed, she hears a...
