Look at this piece of utility of olden days. Functional, aesthetic beauty, something that would not result in a junk polluting the environment and so many positive points one can talk about such old things, and then compare with today's. We had winding watches, even automatic one. What was the need for battery operated ones adding to piles of pollution in land-fills. There is not one product that has no such serious side effects. Your poem provoked these thoughts. Lovely.

I enjoy the weather-vanes fashioned into trotting horses and I prefer the old-fashioned ways even id one could wet their finger and stuck it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing- -or tossing a handful of straw or dirt into the air- -but all in all I like those weather-vanes even those cocky rooster ones!

A masterpiece by the magical pen of Rose Marie Juan Austin. Still the poor farmers are helpless before the nature.

Hi Rose Marie, Your poem is reminiscent of the times when weathervanes technological marvels. Now we have technology, equipment’s and devices that can predict climate with good accuracy. So, one may wonder what the weathervane is doing atop the barn? ?

A movable device attached to an elevated object for showing the direction of the wind is well illustrated in this pretty poem....10+++++
