Windmills Poems - Poems about Windmills

Forest of Windmills

On the hills is a forest of windmills.
A chimera mirage of 
shrill, garish pinwheels,
Wailing an endless lament 
to the tragedy of the commons.
They spin a yarn of the 
collapse of self-sufficiency
and starved frugality,
that yearned to curb our needs. 
It's already too late, 
or almost too late to ever succeed
in providing for the commons.

WONDER

Pink skies infest the starry dark.
Pest sprays reject the fireflies’ spark.
Bald eagles chopped by green windmills.
Right whales lie beached as sonar kills.
Rage that I can no longer view,
Bids my sense of wonder adieux.

Tilting at Windmills

Tilting at Windmills

In this modern world, in these modern times
adventurers of the spirit are looked down upon
at least among my family and friends.

It’s all good if kept at a distance,
but too up close and personal
and it quickly becomes uncomfortable.

This is the nature of madness after all,
easy to admire or

Windmills

Forgotten giants
on the hill ~they stand up strong
   fighting with the wind

      after many years
~big windmills blades turn around
                    with the same music

Windmills

He was withdrawing;
inside his eyes he cleaned the glass of his spectacles
they were worn thin now and only looked inward.

Nuclear weapons were threatening
the circuitry of a million neurons,
a conceptual forest of wooden perceptions
had been targeted by alien guineapigs,
helmeted ants were excavating his mind.

He muttered a question to himself:
What's a guy to do when the world

The Windmills of Babel

Build them wider, taller
let us reach for the sky

when we run out of bird's 
we'll clip angels on the fly

90,000 lb. sperm whale
wandering, searching for 
his misplaced tail...

but elite global outlets will 
never fail....only us commoners
stuck in the dark, our vehicles
needing, only one gear~ Park!

Sunflowers and Windmills

from the sunflower
that the all windmills copied
the elegant spins

Windmills of Mind

Blades blow left then over again
 turning, spinning in the breezy wind
 a little to the demo of autocratic powered right
 only static glitches in the republic cutting of the middlemen;
spin and twirl catch that breeze and gusto of wind
 hot air spewing normalcy, progressive ideologies anathema,
 rotating blades sharp and precise, cut the fat,

Windmills and Tulips

Windmills in Holland
Round and round nowhere to go
As well as tulips

There Are No Windmills

Third shift often referred to as the graveyard shift oh the company I keep through these hours covered by shadows.Souls to wander about at night the lost the lonely and then there are those who are guided by voices poured into the head         

Stairwells don’t lie, streets

Windmills

The castles in the distance, 
are rocks arranged in order, 
to match the need of escape, 
and the ultimate inclusion...
of self-sufficiency and freedom. 

Monsters in the dark, 
some of our own making, 
most tangible even to the blind. 
Yelling things at us loudly, 
but no one hears...
anything, 
but sublime. 

Storms on the forefront, 
of every

Windmills On Your Mind

Comely
Calmly
Slowly 
Proudly
Windmills comely, calmly generate
Power slowly proudly profligate

(For the orignal text in French by Eddy MARNAY : see here below. The English version by Marilyn and Alan BERGMAN differs considerably from the French original, but arguably it could lay claim to originality of versification in its own right. The

Birds Tilting At Windmills

Multi-coloured whirlygigs
and dangling dvd mobiles
have a playful role
protecting my potted
young Blueberry bushes
from hungry for worm birds
digging up the plants
I might even add a baby monitor
making the sculpture
complete.

The pretentiousness  of I 
Tilting at windmills 
In the hope of 
Dulcinea
Little did I know that
My Shadow 
Had the only giants
