The meandering pattern
of rivers and veins
branches and horizons repeating
the grace of symmetry
found in nature
where function
overrules perfection
Fractured fractals
in balanced harmony
sing the universal code of
mathematical probability
bringing imperfect beauty
to life
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #251: Mathematics
There is no point in running
Because there’s no place to go
Trapped by our own behavior
In a state of internal limbo
While the world keeps turning
And nature rebounds
In our absence
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a word Challenge #226: Running
Where there was once a parking lot
An environmental education building
Now stands surrounded by a mass of water
As an ironic reminder
That everything is connected
and both actions and non-actions have consequences
Denial doesn’t change facts
Drowning in ignorance and greed
Climate change
Sea level rising
The naturalist shack
Returns to nature
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenges #221: Mass and #222: Connections
Delicate petals
Open in the morning sun
Beacons for a bee
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #198: Beacons
Bleak
Erosion fences
Replace beautiful trees
In the name of
Progress
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #173: Fences
Beauty plucked from earth
Stumps blanket the countryside
Shriek of a buzz saw
In response to Patrick Jennings Pic and a Word Challenge #170: Blanket
Dancing Echoes
