Green Silk Worm

A poem inspired by the clashing of nature and humanity. (photos by me).

Green Silk Worm

Green worm idiling on a silk thread

Defiant to gravity as it swings across the sky

One glance seen

The next glance gone

A fond memory that is lost but not forgotten

Green silk worm on a shiny thread

Glistening in the last warm rays of the sun

One entity

A harmony between the earth and the trees

A remedy to the soul

Silent

And awaiting with eager eyes

Wanting the old connections to be made

Green silk worm

Greed                                                                     

Gluttony

Residing in the heart

A defined part of the mind

Touching the light

Despite the warning signs

Breaking the thread that ties two worlds together

Green silk worm

Falling

As the light fades

Into the open mouth

Of the grass weed

Birds

I'm a bit bird obsessed. Here are some pictures I took of birds from around the world.

 Florida bird (we named him Harold).

 Another Florida bird

Here's Harold again

I love the blue eyes on this one

 Pelican eye

Some wild parrots in a palm tree

This is a Takahe. There are only a few left in the world. We got the rare opportunity to see one in New Zealand.

This little guy wanted my food when I was in Queenstown

A lovely looking pigeon from D.C.

This is probably my favorite picture. I took it in Colorado at the Garden of the Gods

This is my son. His name is Rocky.

I thought I would share one of my favorite pictures I took from my trip to New Zealand. Enjoy.

We Didn't Notice

A poem about the environment

We Didn't Notice

By: Grace Forciea

We didn't notice

as we were driving on the freeway 

every morning

the land disappearing slowly

year after year

we didn't notice

our favorite wildlife thinning out

and not returning

we blamed it on migration

not an immigration up to heaven

we didn't notice

the gas guzzlers

pumping black smoke into the air

we didn't notice

we just went about our days

eating

drinking

sleeping

we didn't notice

that our food and our water 

was a bother to our bodies 

and the substance in our apples

wasn't natural or "organic"

we didn't notice 

that organic became a title for something real

we didn't notice

that the trees lost their leaves

during the summer and fell over in the winter

black cancer growing on their branches and eating at their cores

we didn't notice

that guns replaced text books and killing was a solution to a problem

like mass shootings minus a revolution 

would solve everything

we didn't notice

that green grass grew where snow melted in December

we didn't notice 

that every winter turned into spring

and the hum of bulldozers

could be heard over the horizon

we didn't notice

that the world was becoming a swimming pool with no lifeguards

and a flame was growing in the souls of every forest,

spreading until existence was a lost trend

in a dying world

Away to New Places

I've been away for a while on my trip to New Zealand but I have returned. It was quite the trip, I saw the rare Takahe bird species, went bungee jumping headfirst off the worlds tallest cliff jump and traveled to some amazing places that have inspired me to reshape the landscape in my novel Dalith. Enjoy some of these pictures I took during my trip.
