Notes About The Poem

Natural design favors curves, twists, turns and bends — just think of rivers winding with sinuous, trees with curves and bent branches and trunks, and rolling hills and landscapes. Straight lines are an aberrant artifact of human warped design.

Listen to poem:

Bent is Strong, Straight is Weak

In nature, being adroit and straight is rare,
It's curves and bends that fill the air.
See rivers that twist,
Trees bent to resist,
For strength lies in being bent, not straight.
