The Left Farm

                                                                Kalidescope Creek, by Toril Fisher
Image: One of the Many Paintings to Create
Awareness of Abuse to the Environment (here)

Beehive lids discarded served as canvas
Creation of masterpiece for strategic purpose
Innovative in style paintings of sheer clarity
Propensity to expound with images of beauty

Awareness of abuses to the environment
Brought to the fore with great insistence
Increasing use of chemicals sadly abound
Sad phenomena but not new development
Bee population in rapid decline a casualty
Herbicide a death knell portion taken daily
Capture of the wilds were noble efforts
Saved for posterity dainty forms to exert

  3. nice touches on the abuse of nature...
    the beauty that disappears in our quest
    to bring peace to our greed.

  10. How much Nature can give before we can't turn the hands of time back… that is the overall fear that it is too late…
