The Garden Within
by Celia Berrell
There is a garden in my heart
where beauty grows in fits and starts.
Where smiles are petals from the flowers
bestowed by others from their bowers.
Nutritious hope reaps seeds to feed
my spirit for its every need.
With gratitude, I'll reach my goal;
to touch the island of my soul.
This poem was inspired by eeds of Gratitude created by Sharon Davson (image above). The original painting is housed in Japan's Hikaru Memorial Museum in Takayama.. The September 2015 issue of China Business Focus magazine, distributed in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Australia, USA and Europe, has chosen a Davson art work for the magazine's cover with "Asian Influences on Davson Art" as their feature article. Davson's new painting Story Book Garden (in the poster below) is also showcased in the CBF feature article.

Tired of Science?
by Lia (Redlynch State College)
Do you like science? Science to me
is Newton's apple-tree gravity.
Albert Einstein's crazy equation;
Earth's seasoned tilt and day rotation.
It's when Neil Armstrong stepped on the Moon;
how penicillin's no longer immune.
The theory of evolution;
starting a carbon revolution.
Organisms still developing;
why the dinosaurs were threatening.
I think it all started with big-bang theory
but now I'm feeling incredibly weary!
