POEM: Isle of Contrasts
This was written to the artwork below, for the CPC Simple Sunday Picture challenge.
ISLE OF CONTRASTS
Inspired by “Island” by Steven Chmilar
Sun rose on their small world
to light a brand new day.
Adrift on desert shoal,
contrasts of the past way.
Aboriginal spot;
primitives know it well.
Natural adjustment.
By Mother’s rules they dwell.
Sophisticated tools
brought from a techno world
serves needs of transformed man
from advanced skills unfurled.
Their symbiotic tree
both unites and divides.
They get along just fine
while privacy provides.
