Wuthering Night
My life's mixed up with logic, gnarly.
I admit I'm confused. I sure do.
Every picture tells a story,
but stories paint a picture too.
Am I looking at Wuthering Heights,
or reading The Starry Night?

The Wuthering
The high moors slant giddily over gritstone edges
where torrents overflow gallons of sky.
Grouse are blown sideways
by a bone-twisting gale.
The land is harried by fishtailing winds,
a sparse tufted earth blown beyond its roots.
In the valley, cats crouch; dogs snap the air
their barks as full as storm-drains.
Torrid echo’s outrun stampeding frights.
In the village pub,
locals move away from

Wuthering heights
Watch that big moon,
It smiles far away.
It's brighter than ever,
It has so much to hide.
The queen among the stars
takes care of its castle
with all the secrets inside.
A princess with no name
has its moods to show,
sometimes feeling full,
sometimes feeling blue.
Listen to that big moon
when she talks to you,
she has so much to say,
so many whispers,
so many

Whether Wuthering Weather
Whether Wuthering Weather
Whether ebb or flow.
Weather blows trees like oceans,
Wuthering waves... roar.
by Martin Braun
August 30, 2023
In memory of my dear mother-in-law, Bea, who was a tremendous poet and an inspiration. A book of her poems was published. She watched Wuthering Heights for countless continuous days. Heathcliff!

Wuthering Woe
From centuries in the sands in woods
In rivulets oceans boat of love
It Rowan Rowan from Day first
With cuckoo, seagull wounded dove
O hazy phantom speak with us
Like blood in heart thou circulate
Thy chamber in the niche of soul
From maddening world so isolate
Thy Laila, Juliet, Romeo Qais
Wherest they live wherest they go?
They live in desert of

The Wuthering
Torrents overflow a rocking sky.
The high moors slant giddily over gritstone edges
dark are the claws of calamity.
Small birds are blown sideways into scant
bone-twisted trees, crooked branches spear each other.
The land is harried by low and high fishtailing winds,
the tufted earth blown beyond its roots.
In the valley, village cats crouch; dogs snap the air
their mouths as

Wuthering
While watching windswept willows weeping,
Wild winter winds were wailing with woe.
Without words we wisely wondered why,
Whither who would wander weather-wise.

Her Wuthering Letters
You get to a point where
you can’t read them anymore
and consider yourself a grown-up.
But it wasn’t until I was fifty-two
that I threw them away.
How long could they hide
in a high school brief case
next to a box of sweaters
in the attic?
So…into the Dumpster Doodle-Doo
they went: her Wuthering epistles,
and my Heathcliff’s

Wild Rugged Wuthering Moor
How I love the Wuthering heights rugged landscape
Of the wild savage moor
As I stand upon a rocky outcrops
High on a windswept Tor.
Under the blue sky canopy before me
Lies sweeping lush green and tawny vales and rolling hills
Land so wild and unforgiving
As the cold wind begins to bite and chill
Carpets of lilac heather providing

Wuthering Heights
Star crossed lovers strolled together
over moorland fields of heather...
Tragedy unfolds
Emily Bronte wrote thereof...
She, too, lost chance to find true love...
Death, again, grabs hold
