Development 

An acrostic poem about wind farms 

ADVANTAGES 

Way up in the sky they rise 

I watch the blades go round as they hypnotise 

Near the coast they stand, out of the way 

Developing countries, a good place to put them some might say 

Fancy that they could generate 10% of our power 

All of the happiness they make must make the NIMBY's less sour 

Rotating blades that generate electricity 

Making enough to light up a whole city 

DISADVANTAGES 

Whirring and noisy the blades make a racket 

I run away because no longer I can hack it 

Near roads and motorways they may be built 

Drivers will be distracted and crash, who will accept the guilt 

For what they produce they're hardly worth it 

An eyesore they are, you can't miss them a bit 

Ruin the countryside is what they'll do 

My back yard is where you wont put them, 'cause if you do I'll sue!
