Alerting us to the fate
That nature does hold....

Brown Towhee, a Plain Jane bird,
Homebody—home here...

stubbornly steadfast
            as society changes…

the cock inspires dawn —
unfetters skies auspicious
highs and brazen lows

The zephyr on the weather vane 
        now pointing North
        and this constant back and forth
Finally taking Standing Hampton to and down Candy Cane Lane...

Flip-Flop
Spin a top
Feel a drop
Taste the rain
Weather Vane
What a pain
Dripping light
Falling bright
Wet tonight
Flip-Flop

I asked the spring its name
It answered only to the 
Weather vane

Their secret conversation
Carried on the wind, while
Fading stars, in dawns
Volcano sky, wondered 
Deep why weather cocks
Can’t fly?...

Fabled America is slipping away, 
surely you’ve felt it, like wind knocking 
a weather vane in another direction.
At some unnoticed moment
we decided to ignore realities
as a man intent on drowning himself
plows heedlessly through the waves....

Saw Weather Vane

Inside is where I decided to remain;
Looked out and  saw weather vane;
Beautiful butterflies,
Before my eyes;
On page in book picture of a crane.

Jim Horn

I would rather have someone write
a poem for me that just make a comment. 
That is more meaningful to me....

Ye old jalopy of the junkyard
spiffed up
   with spinning tires
hydroplaning of the weather vane
    no ejection seat
    no buckle to fumble
open air
     hit from behind
the child held with grandma’s wrought iron arms
   grandpa’s at the pearly gates
chooses lemon-lime

placid is a place i want to be,
a Grandma Moses painting
set in the bucolic scene of
a red barn crowned with a
rooster weather vane as
children carry water buckets 
from a nearby wishing well
which is visited by a resident
red robin searching for tasty
earth worms surrounding the
wet ground as cows and horses
in the verdant meadow graze
peacefully together...

Last night we watched a riot
A garden-raging row
Unable to contain itself
Full of everything right now

Dusty ice was flying wild
A weather vane of violent spin
Whirlpool winds and crystal falls
Manic screaming twisted grin

Not a night for city doorways
Under cardboard covered rooms
Where streetlights wink that all is well
The sucking blizzard mouth consumes...

THERE IS NO MORE 
SHOW AND TELL 
IN MY LIFE
AS I HAVE AGED 
MY TOKEN WIFE
AND MY CAR AND HOUSE 
HAVE SPOTS 
OF RUST 
AND I HAVE 
NO MORE THOUGHTS 
OF LUST

MY PRESTIGIOUS JOB 
IS IN THE PAST
AS IS MY SAVINGS 
WHICH ARE GOING FAST
MY 401K LOOKS 
MORE LIKE A 101 GOOSE 
AS MY CREDIT CARDS 
ARE WORN FROM USE

MY BODY IS STILL ERECT
ONLY MY SOUL 
LEANS INTO THE WIND 
LIKE A WEATHER-VANE 
LOOKING FOR DIRECTION
INTO THE FUTURE
OF SENIOR-CARE...

Rich with a conscious
Living in the city
A socialist soul 
In a barrister cloths
His money worry’s
Involve can he count that high
And which home to use tonight
The tribulations of the socialist right 
How dare the masses disagree
Its Europe all the way 
The man's no sign post just a weather vane
 Two Keir's do not make us labour
The red flag fly’s at half mast 
And caps  are doffed at labour passing
All hail Keir Starmer the saviour of the right...

How the igloo spectators did laugh
as I spun like some frozen giraffe
black ice caught me napping
jack frost “boo-boo” snapping 
this whirligig skater a fly-half!

NB Jack Frost snapping as in taking a photograph when I cut a funny figure while trying to skate.
Fly-half in comic sense. Slipping and falling in comic rugby player mode

March winds direct the weather vane
April showers water wheat and grain
May flowers grow on the lane

The mud splashes the mud sloshes
Kids wear raincoats and galoshes
Down the hill water washes

A newborn calf will join the herd
A nest is built by mama bird
A toddler says her first word

Green are the leaves upon the tree
Yellow’s the color of a bee
Spring roses are just for me
