Mother Nature & Her Human Friends

Mother Nature and Her Human Friends is a narrative poem. The characters include Will, a twenty-year-old, who works for Miller, the landscaper of the Bonvern Valley Park. Will discovers a cave of vines and a hidden pool, and, tired of his studio apartment, spends the night in the cave with his dog Hilda. He has a dream vision of Mother Nature, who speaks to him and creates a new direction for his life. A day later, Will meets Linda in the cave, and together they gather a new group called Mother Nature's Friends. They build a network to save the forest and the wetland in their valley, and risk their lives to protect the living beauty around them.

“I’ve worked all my life trying to re-envision who we are and what nature is and can be. The idea that nature has no soul is a travesty, a monstrous loss of our identity. But now I see a different goal, a new role for us to play.”
– Lisa Nieves, Parks Commissioner for Bonvern Valley

Nero in the Land of Nut

Writing is the most unusual way to create. I have always been used to painting where materials such as brushes, canvas, and colors are at hand. Everything has a tactile quality about it, but writing is the opposite. It is more cerebral. You are dealing with words colliding with each other in your mind trying to make sense of them. But this can be more liberating, especially in a children’s book where anything goes. Nero in the Land of Nut is a play on words so convoluted and over-lapping it becomes infectious and incorrigible. At some point, the reader laughs hilariously in his/her attempts to make sense of it all. It reminds us of life itself and how serious we take things, when all the while, life just wants to laugh.

Out of My Elements

What if everything we know about the fallen is only a rumor!

Angels changed their mind

Maybe they were wrong

They should have done the same thing as Lucifer

They shouldn’t have to pray

To Adam and Eve

What if he was wrong?

Creating mankind wasn’t enough

To be the best in the all universe

Would angels accept to be another creature beside mankind?

Would angels accept this after all this time?
