A Windy Day (Southend-on-Sea)

Masts 

protrude

erect and naked

from berthed hulls

Flagrantly probing

the cloudy skies

Penetrating the cries

 of squabbling seagulls

 their pink feet

dangling

they wobble in

the wind

above the

flaccid sea

Paint the Wind

Paint the wind

with dove grey wings

so I may snare 

and cage it

before the trees

hear all the things

I told the wind

in secret

For secrets

cast long shadows

that don't melt

into the sun

and leaves

will fall

like burning

tears

before the fall

is done

What a windy day this was for the poor dove trying to eat berries

A Fowl Day!

Which ever way the wind blows it doesn't really matter as long as you have somewhere to bury your head. Some of them had wings others couldn't bear it but buried their heads anyway in a pile of logs. (Bear with a sore head on a fowl day?)
