5 Paintings and Photographs of Nature 

with Verses

“Truly the schemes and wonders of Nature are illimitable.” — Charles Darwin

Dr Abe V Rotor

                          1. Vortex - Eye of a Storm

                                  Vortex - Eye of a Storm in acrylic, AV Rotor

Beware of the beautiful with fangs of fire;

like the eye of a storm and woman's ire ~

2. Fire in the Fire Tree

                                          Fire Tree in acrylic by the author c.2009

Rage with fire, burn the sky, bleed the heart,

Fire the kiss of life, fire the kiss of death;

And when your petals fall, so with your seed,

Fire the kiss of death, fire the kiss of life;

And beauty the brief passing of time and grief.~

3. Butterfly Remains

Butterfly Remains, relief painting by the author

I soaked some leaves with shades of green,  

 pressed them on canvas while fresh;

I wanted to create at the center a bird's nest;

instead, butterfly remains can be seen.

4. Invisible Wall

     

Aquarium Pet and a Butterfly, At Home, Lagro QC 

Fish to butterfly danger in the open

     harmless between a wall; 

Humans behave like friend to friend 

     between an invisible wall. 

5. Sunset
Photo and Verse by Marlo R Rotor

Old Quirino Bridge across Banaoang Pass, Santa, Ilocos Sur 

Sunset:

call it beauty,

the color of war,

and death itself;

it is enough,

the passing of day.

the coming of night. ~
