Seek Thankfulness

Week 30 of my
Poetry ReImagined
project in my mixed media collage journal,
with inspiration from poets
Rudyard Kipling
& Gilbert White.

seek thankfulness each and every day
be on bended knee or arms raised high
with heavy load or light of foot
in deep solitude, the curious mind employ
find soothing melancholy joy

I used Daler-Rowney Gesso Primer,
Faber-Castell watercolour pencils,
an image from Shawn Petite (background)
a Cicely Mary Barker image
(cut out from an old book),
& printed text.

The Earth beneath my Feet

Week 29 in my mixed media collage journal,
with inspiration from poet
Rudyard Kipling.

with no way forward, no way back
here lost I am, trapped in this moment
unable to find a path to anywhere
I take a breath to focus, regain my centre
to feel the earth beneath my feet

Hope

whose home is everywhere
oft-disregarded daisy
unchecked by pride
carries sweet memories past
with a hope for times to come

Standing Alone

Week 27 in my mixed media collage journal,
with inspiration from poet

standing alone in the bright summer's morn
as quietness fell I closed my eyes to hear
nature with all its wondrous sounds
of unseen creatures on the wing
and songbirds hid deep in leafy trees
