These ten dizains were extracted and carefully handpicked from my forthcoming collection of poems which is still a work in progress. These poems explore themes such as belonging and the relationship between man and nature with an open mindedness that expands upon the human condition. The poems are written observing the ababbccdcd rhyme scheme typical of dizains. The poems are written in a style so fluid, it seeps at the borderline of poetry and music. Suitable for a kaleidoscope of audiences with its characteristic penmanship, mood and milieu. These ten poems explore themes such as nature and sustainability.
To view the poems see the document bellow.
The project is part of the subtheme Sustainability.
