Friday Challenge - Ecology

Luna and Shaman Rabbit, by Toril Fisher
.
Moon shines bright tonight
Shaman Rabbit and the duck
Safe from pesticides?

Kalidescope Creek, by Toril Fisher

Rachel Carson would love
Clear blue water running free
Fish can once more live?

Star Valley Flower Farm, by Toril Fisher
. 
Flowers rule the hill
Where once vineyards did flourish
Flower power return?

I am linked today with Real Toads, Artistic Interpretations with Margaret - "Queen Bee" Art Project with Toril where Margaret wrote of Toril's artistic aspirations of melding her art with efforts to improve our ecology. 

There Margaret also challenged poetry writers thusly:
 .
"For this challenge, please use these images for inspiration to promote Toril's desire to begin a conversation about the beauty and interconnectedness all living creatures share with our amazing Mother Earth."

    The question in the final line of each strophe sets the tone for the whole. Do we know enough about any natural scene to admire it without conscience.

    You've made me realize I totally missed the idea of beginning the conversation of Mother Nature with the art! You did a great job with your poems. By adding the questions at the end, you've led to a natural beginning of a conversation about the state of nature and all living things! Perhaps I should go back and rework mine now!

    I simply LOVE the fact that you mention Rachel Carson, a woman far before her time. And your words do justice to both the art and Toril's mission.

    Beautifully phrased questions that I wish we could all emphatically say "yes" too.
