Poetry Fishbowl Open!
Dec. 6th, 2022 12:30 pmThe Poetry Fishbowl is now CLOSED. Thank you for your time and attention. Please keep an eye on this space as I am still writing.
Starting now, the Poetry Fishbowl is open! Today's theme is "Nature." I will be checking this page periodically throughout the day. When people make suggestions, I'll pick some and weave them together into a poem ... and then another ... and so on. I'm hoping to get a lot of ideas and a lot of poems.
I'll be soliciting ideas for naturalists, earth scientists, bohemians, nature artists, hikers, campers, makers of outdoor supplies, handicraft advocates, crafters, touch-dominant people, activists, volunteers, teachers, parents, primal soups, animal soups, superheroes, supervillains, cetaceans, bats, pit vipers, insects, alien or fantasy races, others active in nature, forest bathing, backpacking, hunting, gathering, foraging, birdwatching, creating art en plein air, seeing a different spectrum, hearing higher or lower, echolocating, inventing a new art or craft, discovering things, improvising, adapting, cooperating, bartering, sharing, fixing what's broke, changing the world, accomplishing the impossible, doing other outdoorsy things, the environment, the biosphere, ecoregions, landmarks, parks, wildernesses, yards, outdoor classrooms, nature playgrounds, supervillain lairs, artist colonies, arts and crafts farms, nature stores, ecovillages, other intentional communities, sunrooms, plant porches, bird rooms, catios, other nature hangouts, climate change, natural disasters, natural loose parts, nature craft supplies, natural dyes, unique works of natural art or craft, survival skills, touch-mapping, scent-tracking, echolocation, darkvision, subtle senses, enhanced senses, danger sense, animal senses, nature art lessons and programs, folk arts and crafts, diversity, inclusivity, trial and error, teamwork, found family, complementary strengths and weaknesses, personal growth, and poetic forms in particular.

Among my more relevant series for the main theme:
Arts and Crafts America features plenty of nature art.
The Bear Tunnels includes historic crafts and ethnic perspectives.
Beneath the Family Tree is prehistoric fantasy, necessarily in nature.
A Conflagration of Dragons has the Six Races of humanoids, plus the dragons, all of whom have their own natural habitats.
Daughters of the Apocalypse requires creative use of remaining materials and environments.
Fiorenza the Wisewoman includes a lot of gardening and other natural activities in a rustic village.
Frankenstein's Family spans a whole mountain valley.
Hart's Farm is historic fantasy set in a Swedish village, so nature is not far away.
The Moon Door features werewolves, who enjoy time in nature.
Polychrome Heroics has various characters and locations relating to nature and the great outdoors. Some superpowers also relate to nature.
Or you can ask for something new.
I have a linkback poem, "The Cats of Oz" (Oz, 5 verses).
