Fragments Geometry & Change 30"x30" gouache on w/c paper
leave a light
footprint respect the earth i walk on & the creatures
who share my
space follow my own star each moment is precious
& i try not to
waste them turn off the water while brushing
burn no more than i
need for light or warmth because my days are numbered
i try to use what i
have wisely

Note: I'm not sure images are important to what I write. But recently one comment, said the form I use reminded them of my work. I liked that.

"each moment is precious"..it is..to be wise is to be beautiful...
Beautiful and wise words :) Each moment is precious. May we all have the wisdom that you shared. It was lovely reading this poem :)
Great and practical words indeed. Hope your week is going on great!
Annell, love your sustainability, some expressions like '& the creatures
who share my space' in all meanings make me smile...it's gift to live with open eyes...
The form of your poetry seems to mirror the patterns in your art, Annell. And thank you for following me...I think it was you!
Using what we have wisely is probably the best way to go. I guess if we really wanted to reduce our footprint we would stop using oil, cars and the such. Few are willing to go to that extreme. Not yet, anyway.
I share the sentiment.. we should be careful of what we have, and maybe we don't have to be too extreme.. many small steps make up a lot.. Save some food, take the bicycle...
Such an inspiration this poem is.. loved the sentiments portrayed here :D
This poem should be blazoned everywhere, respect for our planet.
I can co-sign on to that.
Ah.. the blessings of counting the
gifts.. and oh.. the gift of taking
no more than one needs..ah
the greatest gift of sharing
so all can stay alive..:)
Your poetry form is very interesting. I've never seen it before. But it definitely fits the theme of this poem as you've taken up only as much space on the page for this poem as you needed. :) Peace, Linda
Yes indeed! (Me too.)
Yes, we try to leave a light footprint. I, too, like the way your formatting of your poems calls to mind your work in the studio........a visual artist of both painting and words.
I love the concept of sustainability, in all its meanings.
Nice. Your image works so well with your words, and I like how the form of this piece tends to go with the theme of using as little (space) as you can. Very nice.
so so BEAUTIFUL!
Nice. I like the style you write. Your work looks beautiful. You are very talented.
What a hopeful piece, with a light touch but a deep resonance. Lovely work!
Each moment is precious indeed as ia this earth of ours. We should leave a light footprint.

Very good poem, Annell! I like the idea and image of a 'light footprint' yet find that, as much as we believe this too be important, it is hard to remember to tread lightly in all we do.
