Within Nature’s Balance
This is my response to Day 28 at napowrimo.net,
where we are asked to write a concrete poem.
Using a screenshot, the lower half of the image shows how it appears on my screen.

Formatted differently, the poem might appear as below.
Within Nature’s Balance
Imagine the peace and harmony this world
would know, the balance
that could be
achieved
if life were as easy to navigate
as the waters that greet and accept
this paddle with-
out reservation, one of
many essential elements
within the greater
picture

I love how the concrete version of your poem uses the middle portion of the paddle to connect the peace and harmony on one side with the water on the other side.

Does not need the shape to get it’s point across. But I really like the blue paddle. (K)
