Focus - project feature by *x-outsider-x:iconx-outsider-x:



May I keenly gaze of nature's blades?
(green leaf goodness still unbent by motored winds)

Let people move like speeding cars to abrupt ends -
I grow gardens where true life begins.

Author's Comments

All through December, I wrote about "stillness". One word for December 1, five words for December 5, etc.

This was day 31. :iconduskydawn: reckoned it could stand on its own as a deviation. I thought I'd give it a try.

:iconin7rainbows:
this is really great.
The only thing I didn't like was the word 'goodness'.. it seemed out of place for some reason..
I would also change 'motored' to 'un-motored'.. maybe its just the way I hav interpreted it.

Either way, it's a great piece.

And I was wondering where I saw this before! Beautiful. I know I've said this a million times, but I can't help saying it again: the way you express so much in only so many words never fails to fascinate me =)

Gosh thank you! You've given me hope that my short poems are indeed effective. I'm not a word-person. I envy those who are. But I'm becoming more content with what comes out these days :)
