Spring on the meadow in acrylic by the author

Spring on the meadow

Mist into dewdrops like beads of pearl,

cling on grass before the sun is up,

else vanish in the air and lost forever,

come and drink with my little cup.

Edge of a Crater

"Who joins me in Jules Verne's novel,

Journey to the Center of the Earth,

and travel down the burning navel,

far from the comfort of the hearth?"

Cascade

Too full to contain a downpour in May,

but burst with fury;

ends a long, hot summer in a day

and lives in a story.

Lahar Flow in acrylic and lahar rock by the author

Lahar Flow

Fiery breathe of the angry earth

far from the comfort by the hearth,

wait 'til it settles down with time

to become tame and sublime.

*John Milton was an English poet and intellectual. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including over ten chapters, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. He later wrote, after losing his sight. Paradise Regained as sequel to Paradise Lost.
