Bonsai Ninja

Listen to poem:

with each breath I invite inner peace approaching with meditative intent manicure scissors in one hand zenlike harmony in my heart a passion for recreating micro landscapes it’s a labor of love aesthetics and patience defoliation wiring clamping and grafting tapering shaping with explicit precision twisted branches gnarly roots graceful symptoms of ageing pruning windswept replicas of effortless poetry in motion AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on May 30, 2020 for contest BRIAN'S CHOICE 11 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD Originally posted on May 5, 2020

So lovely Line! You have really captured the spirit of the bonsai tree. Each bonsai is a unique sculpture molded with patience and restraint. Congratulations on your winning placement. Enjoyed this very much.
