Nature Confronts Civilization (Couplet and Quintain)
A chapter in the book Animated Stills
The Watching Whistler
by Treischel
Along the River banks they lurk.
The Ancient ones of Earth They whistle, watch and smirk At all Humanity's civic work. They often wonder at the worth Of cutting all their fellow Trees That once swayed here in the breeze. |
Animated Stills - Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it.
This Photograph was taken along the Mississippi River at Harriet Island. This is an undoctored image. The root actually looks like that. The City in the background is St. Paul which is directly across the river.
