Standing proud the five triskelionsRaised by some night rapscallionTower above the fields and treesPreparing to tumble with the breezeIn beautiful rotational symmetryWith grey industrial efficiency.Motionless till the wind obligesThe gathering of nature’s prizesLoved and loathed in equal measurePerhaps a future Nation’s Treasure?These acrobats in lycraBare, metallic, three headed hydrasSuccessors to Spender’s pylons1These new electrical producer iconsMove gentle through the airWith an abundant graceful flairThat belies the power they truly wieldTo generate increasing yieldsTo satisfy our greedy demandsFor power to power our idle handsThat every day require the forceTo flip our screens and brown our toast.© 10thJuly 2016 Sheila Ash1 seehttp://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pylons/ashramblings
