Earthweal Weekly Challenge....Ekphrasis Earth


 mammal in leaves

looking for a friend

like most of us



something very lonely

about an iceberg

in search of an ocean liner


death wish

why do they do it

no one knows


bleak

now i know

why my forebears

hotfooted it out

to white sand and palm trees

thank you


fireweed

pretty in pink

all the trees are burnt

no california dreamin in this one



free as a bird

it's not as good

as it seems

ducks on the pond

have it easier



so this is

just a random result

from the big bang

yeah sure

  2. I didn't expect anyone to compose a poem using all of the images, but these meditations do their work of amplifying our sight.

  3. Brevity sometimes adds more potency. Lovely work.

  4. Two shipwrecked sailors sitting on the iceberg: "Look, we're saved! Here comes the Titanic!"
