I found another thread about poetry:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/the-beauty-of-nature-in-poetry/2411
I wonder of the two could be combined…
This is a silly crazy experimental freestyle/haiku (maybe) poem:
Coooon-stiii-paaa-teeeed
clouds
aredrivingmecrazy!
Now, let’s get serious! The mulberry tree in the back yard has lost all its flowers. I have collected them to take them to a community garden compost pile. This tree made me think of this poem by the Italian poet Giuseppe Ungaretti:
Soldati
Si sta come
d’autunno
sugli alberi
le foglie
Bosco di Courton luglio 1918
Soldiers
We are as
in autumn
on branches
the leaves
Courton Forest, July 1918
(alberi = trees not branches. Poetic license I guess)
