The Universe Is a Writer

After reading Fran Haley's inspiring blog post, Ode to the Wind, I turned to write a Golden Shovel poem in response to her quote, "The universe Is a writer". There was such a lyrical quality to her prose and sensitivity in her ode that I decided to design a video poem. Unfortunately, the download of the Lumen 5 video did not work well tonight so I am offering the link. You can access the video poem here



Each day I listen to the
undulating sounds of the universe.
Wind whispers its pandemic rage in what-is
fashion as birdsongs call out
morning tune known by you, the writer.

is nearing its end. I have been either writing a poem or curating others' poems daily
for my Nature Nurtures 2020 Gallery of Artistic Expressions. 
You can offer an image poem or nature photo
until the first week of April 2020.

    1. I am so delighted to have met you, Fran. Your writing soothes my soul and inspired me to create another poem. When you add your comments to Twitter be sure to use this hashtag," #NatureNurtures2020. I needed to add the 2020 at the end just for the gallery.
