Lovely! I love the sound of windchimes but havens owned any for several years until recently I bought myself a set in SIngapore. Now, not only do I hear their melody, but I am also reminded of my trip.
I had a set of windchimes that I loved for years. The wood at the top finally got too dry and broke. You made me think I want to go buy another set. Maybe next Spring.
I have one bell chime, and it is rather like a weather forecaster. When it rings, I know the wind is up, just as I wrote in my post. Your souvenir is a perfect one, Sally.
We do get busy, and buying wind chimes is not always on the list, is it. Hope you do find a lovely one, Carol. They sounded so pretty this time.
Linda, this post is filled with the tunes of relaxation-the joys of summer. Is there a way to capture your poem and chimes for Summer Splashings so that we can hear the sound?
I'll see if I can put it tougher into another app, Carol Thanks for asking!
Lovely to read this even as I listen to the wind chimes on our porch, Linda.
I love the sound of my windchimes. They do predict the weather. They also invite a sense of peace and relaxation.
Happy to hear you've hung the wind chimes, Tara!
There is that softness of sound that is so pleasing, I agree, Margaret.
Linda, I have the chimes my dad made and love to hear them singing in the wind. Your haiku is lovely. I like the repetition of w sounds and how harmonize echoes the sound of chime.
Oh, how wonderful about your special chimes. Thanks for coming by, Joyce.
Oh, yes - the weather WILL be changing soon...I just hope not TOO soon! Nicely done, Linda.
Thanks, Matt. I was just hoping for a 'little' change, like rain for a short while. Yes, autumn will soon be here, but we still have August!
Delicious haiku, Linda. I can imagine the sounds of your neighborhood wind chimes. And speaking of wind, thank you so much for "Blowing Out the Summer Candles!" I am not ready to stop lazing in the blaze of the sun (it seems like summer has just arrived in Michigan) but I thoroughly enjoyed the tasty summer whirl of your poem. Rumor has it that your fourth poetry swapper is a bit of a slacker, but hopefully your poem(s) will arrive by Monday.
Linda did you know there's an annual wind chime festival at Soji-ji Temple in Japan that takes place in July and August? It's going on right now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWtSNBCUhY
Thanks, and you're welcome too, Buffy. I'm happy that you enjoyed it; it was fun to write.
Oh, wow, and no, I didn't. Thanks, Diane, will look!
Wind chimes and a haiku - a delightful pairing. I'm listening the chimes you shared as I wander blogs this morning.
Thanks, my friend. I hadn't any idea there were so many wind chime YouTubes for listening and calming. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
I love this!
Terrific. Thanks, Ruth.
