Father Nature -- a collaboration with Sleepless Volcano

Mother can't take all the credit now ... can She? :o

Father Nature

He stretched out owly after a night rent

tempestuously over indulgent

A carbon hangover clutching his heart

Footprints of greed wound his green shoots with darts

Ethereal mint mists wash carbon prints

wine sulfur,drunk raging presses the hint

Bloodied, his fists, as they beat in the sky

Now crimson, this life source, never will die

puce ore of the mountain shaping His jaw

shaking core shift plates he opens earths maw

Like ants, all life shrieks with blood, sweat and tears

Oyster-grey smoke giving birth to fresh fears

grind glacial brows unfurling earth shapers

lost, green life, buried under sky-scrapers

Despite the torment of stark, rough handling

up from his knees, our earth is still standing.

If I were to imagine a good fit for a collab, it would be you two & this proves it. You both have a similar way of presenting your thoughts & ideas with "out-there" nuance. I love the way you use "carbon" & other pollutants in such mind-bendingly creative ways. I love your artwork & your words conjure up a similar visualization of how father earth might be feeling with all humans' abuse heaped upon him! *eeeek!* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hey, you men can't get all of the credit. Give Mother Nature a break. Kathie

You have a way of bringing out the sublimely metaphorical in others. And while man believes he has conquered mother nature, the world will stand long after we are dust.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes indeed ..ashes to ashes ...dust to dust ... i watch NatGeo quite often and the things they delve into about the changes things have been through is fascinating ... nothing new created and nothing destroyed ...just changes :) (Antoine Lavoisier' Law of Conservation of Mass) thanks for stopping Lips! and for your kind review ... love and peace!

Well done, collabs can be dodgy, but you've both pulled it off.
Father nature, up from his knees, the world intact. Brill.

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you Paul ... Sleepless is pretty inspiring .. he had an idea and invited me in .. using couplets kept it more on track than it might have been .. appreciate your taking time to read and review ..God bless

If I was Sami - would say WOW then - scold self! However, this collaboration is so full of power and a hugger.mugger of extreme visuals that the entire work hits home.. and very cleverly. Great phrasing,, can't find any joins, thought follows thought and shouts its meaning. Think I'll call this 'brilliant'!

Not snatching any one part of your work because could offend one or other so, best to say.. the collaboration's great and really stresses the meaning behind it. Graphic and video.. dramatic though maybe - for me, distracts from your words which are, surely, the core.

[Einstein Noodle]
