Wretched Wind Chimes!

Tinkling wind chimes charm...

My Dad loved to hear their sound

Float on breeze at night.

**************************

Rainbow lorikeets

Screech and haggle over scraps

Dusk… patio scene.

******************************

Visit from my aunt

Precious memories delight

Laughter freely shared.

**********************************

Wind chimes sway and sing

Quick… tie them up! I can’t sleep!

Breeze blows… silence reigns!

*************************************

Poppy’s wind chime prompt reminded me of my scallywag Dad’s beloved wind chimes disturbing his fun loving sister’s sleep whenever she visited.

Since I adore wind chimes, I considered her solution to the problem to be an extreme travesty!

However, one night the wind blew so incessantly, their chimes turned to a clamour which could be heard deep within the house!

Staggering out onto the wet patio, I ruthlessly, imprisoned those wayward wind chimes and was duly rewarded with the sweet sleep of a babe.
