Geography and Natural History - Art and Words!

Luckily, when I'm under pressure, I have two other creatives to fall back on. Anyway, this stuff papers my living room and kitchen, so why shouldn't you put up with it too?

So two new works by the small ones. Twin 1 is having a big "Abstract Art" phase at the moment, so having perused some Mondrians and Rothkos he came up with this, entitled "North Light"

And in a bit more detail.



For which he composed this poem.

Green Light

Green light at the pole
all silent here and there
for fox, rabbit, owl and bears.
Ship to it, fly to it,
all get frozen in.

It happens then that day
you get frozen away,
it all happens that way
so let us pray.

Whilst the best I could come up with was;

Northern Lights

Aurora Borealis.
What a mouthful that is.

Twin 2, meanwhile, is heavily into creating insect posters at the moment, so here's the latest;


Apologies that you can't read the words, perhaps the one important fact is that Stag Beetles have a "Killer Rating" of 8. Out of 10.

And then he composed;

The Stag Beetle

The Stag Beetle,
with its terrible jaws
and crunching claws,
it can fight and bite
and that’s not all.
It fights over the female.
It can climb about six bales of straw.
It pushes other males off branches
and once it’s got the female
it sometimes just pushes her off too.
It really is no harm to me nor you,
but if there’s lots, only one thing to do,
just let them get you.

The Stag Beetle,
with its terrible jaws
and crunching claws,
it’s just about two centimetres,
but the bad thing is if there’s too many
there’s only one thing to do.
Let them get you.

Which I thought just about said it all, and anyway, I couldn't find a rhyme for "beetle".
