Twirling Windmills
by Rebecca Laffar-Smith


While waking to the wonder of the sun,
the blossoms sip the nectar of night's dew.
The haze of spring's dawn-shower mists subside
in drops of rainbow splendor on the leaves.

In indigo and violet spread a field,
a garden of forget-me-nots in bloom,
all nestled in a haven, flourishing
below the barren rust of horse-worn paths.

The brumbies whinny, wicker, bound and neigh
and towering above them spin the spokes,
all winged in white and framed in golden hues,
of six earth-grounded windmills, stately, sprite.

They clatter their, "Good Mornings" joyful, bright
with twirling swirls of chatter; lithe and glad.
Then reap the sighs of brisk, cool morning's breeze;
in essence welcoming the sunrise blaze.
