Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Water Windmill

Daniel Halladay did invent

In 1854 a mill,

A structure making tall assent.

Topped blades would turn amid wind fill,

Energizing the pumping of

Water out of a well below.

The windmill oft towered above

The rural landscape in a show

Of science helping nature bring

More of life's bounty to abound

For better farming and ranching,

Pumping water from underground.

Water windmills began to fade

As more plumbing pipes did get laid.
