slow movements of windmills

Winds of thoughts gliding
through the tunnels of the mind
Scraping for ideas

Goes through the motions
of slow movements of windmills
Heavy but smoothly

Some days stubbornness
plays its ugly game when words
fail to be poetry

    And the days when they whirl through your mind, brilliant and blinding, but when you grasp them they turn to withered leaves.

    some days words have the same sluggishness for sure...i have been too tired the last week for words to move...my FIL was in the hospital and my wife has been gone taking care of him...

      Sorry to hear that Brian! Wishing your FIL speedy recovery. Please convey Hank's regards to the good wife and tell her it is a noble thing to do.

    We all get days like that Hank, I enjoyed what you wrote and loved the photo.
    Mind you I'm never usually lost for words....only at home alone.

    Some days are better than others for scraping ideas!

    There are always days where we are better off doing something else

    the creative mind does indeed scrape at times and other times you have to chase it.

    I have this theory, Hank, that if we connected all politicians to windmills, we would have enough energy to save this here little planet of ours.

    What do you think?
