Poems in the Waiting Room: Wind Farm
First published in the Autumn 2003 issue of Poems in the Waiting Room, Wind Farm was the cover poem for Poetry in Stitches, a joint project with the National Needlework Archive. "This gently teasing poem," explains editor, Isobel Montgomery Campbell, "brings a smile, and to me seems like a metaphor for angels!"
Wind Farm the great propellors idle in the evening breeze, as if the field were just preparing for departure needing only favourable alignment of the anticyclone to give lift-off, into the teeth of the Atlantic gale raising the hillside, scattering ploughed loam and trailing filaments of light for all the farms and villages around. Tony Lucas (1941 - )
Permission to publish Wind Farm has been kindly granted by Poems in the Waiting Room, a registered arts in health charity in the UK, which supplies short collections of poems for patients to read while waiting to see their doctor. The poems draw from the springs of well-being and are published quarterly in March, May, September and November each year.
