ds106 Assignment #3
For this assignment, I wrote a poem and illustrated it with pictures I took of my backyard.
The Natural and The Abstract
Chelsea Bond
wind your way around the ground
playing in your shade and safety
hope no danger is around
snakes come out in warm weather
they have been around lately
wormholes water dirt and rock
i know this place like the back of my hand
no busy no people no smog or clock
right here is where i’ll stay
bugs and bees all sorts of things
on a large rock I find a place to lay
chirping lurking sounds all around
i fall asleep to the sounds all around
when i wake i find myself
wrapped up in the world of the natural
much like my ancestors might have
and again i walk the ground
walk back home with the sounds all around
wormholes water dirt and rock
i know this place like the back of my hand
ignore the people ignore the clock
Why do I go back to the abstract world again?
