cock crows
light grows
sun’s out
joy sprouts
folks smile
… meanwhile
rains dropped
joy’s sopped
The weather vane turns
Alerting us to the fate
That nature does hold.
the cock inspires dawn —
unfetters skies auspicious
highs and brazen lows

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.
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?
