I see a pattern
asymmetry of nature
unadorned in a drab canvass
footprints leads one to parents
the universal one, mother earth
she cushions the sharp edges
zigzag branches imprison the light on the ground
track marks are inevitable
to roll into invisible something
"pour water over me
let the fine details embed into me
I will draw circles
do thumb painting"

Thumb painting...:)
zigzag branches imprison the light on the ground
They do indeed...
I love mother earth cushioning the soft edges - and the thumb painting! Cool!
Mother Earth is smiling...and so am I...
she cushions the sharp edges
zigzag branches imprison the light on the ground
track marks are inevitable
to roll into invisible something............nice lines here, cool!
I love the rich gathering of natural threads that your poem brings to life, Gautami. Thank you for sharing.
There is certainly a softening of the harsh tyre marks.
Cushioning the edges and thumbprints. Loved this

'track marks are inevitable
to roll into invisible something'
Yes, they do eventually,invisible but still visible. Nice take, Gautami!

This one is my favorite read today and may be till another striking one comes....
Love love love this ... love that you played with the word tapestry ... woven images with your words ... I will re-read this poe, off and on for the next few days ...
Gautami,
Read 2 poems and what a way to talk of Mother Nature.
Take care
I have not tried to read this without the illustration you provide. I see, through your description, an entire image of the universe in that little mud puddle--from the artifacts of humans to the pinnacle of creation. I will have to re-look at finger painting and more to see what I missed when I just thought it was finger marks in the goop! Thank you!
Is it permitted to use the fingers in thumb painting? Is it permitted to use the thumb in finger painting? These are the questions that keep me awake at night.
Thumb painting!
=)
"footprints lead one to parents" as children this is how we see the world; like the breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel~! Wonderful dream-like imagery~ thank-you~ gautami tripathy~!!!

This is beautiful. It is a tribute to life and nature. Very nice.
Too good...I love the tapestry of nature.

I missed this one at Magpie Tales, but you've done something really cool with it. Nicely done.
A beautiful tribute to Mother Earth...this is lovely! :-)
