Loving poetry and earth day
Song
Oh! To be a flower
Nodding in the sun,
Bending, then upspringing
As the breezes run;
Holding up
A scentbrimmed cup,
Full of summer’s fragrance to the summer sun.
Oh! To be a butterfly
Still, upon a flower,
Winking with its painted wings,
Happy in the hour.
Blossoms hold
Mines of gold
Deep within the farthest heart of each chaliced flower.
Oh! To be a cloud
Blowing through the blue,
Shadowing the mountains,
Rushing loudly through
Valleys deep
Where torrents keep
Always their plunging thunder and their misty arch of blue.
Oh! To be a wave
Splintering on the sand,
Drawing back, but leaving
Lingeringly the land.
Rainbow light
Flashes bright
Telling tales of coral caves half hid in yellow sand.
Soon they die, the flowers;
Insects live a day;
Clouds dissolve in showers;
Only waves at play
Last forever.
Shall endeavor
Make a sea of purpose mightier than we dream today?

Thank you Amy Lowell for such sweet words. So I dedicated this blog to poetry month and to earth day of course, but more than anything I would like to highlight our British counterparts on their endeavors with a beautiful design of a wind turbine in form of a flower. Particularly, I would like to commend the architect, Tonkin Liu who thoughtfully made the wind turbine even more green.
This work of art is made out of sheet metal and lights shine out of three mini off grid wind turbines with different shades of red depending on the speed of the wind. Amazing and innovative. It’s frame and petals are made of galvanized steel and illuminated by LED lights. How green and creative can it get?
It gets better. This initiative hopes to creative 1,100 more jobs with modern business park initiatives. Practical and beautiful, now that’s perfect to me.
Work of art for sustainable good
