"Strange Pastoral" (oil) by Georg Wilson

Introduction

I am unable to submit to a challenge from this backup account, but I can still write poetry and stories.

This is an Ekphrastic Villanelle.

I found this on the Facebook ART from A to Zed group here.

The music is "In Dark Trees" by Brian Eno

Strange Nature

πŸŒ˜πŸŒΏπŸ¦…πŸ‚πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈπŸ‚πŸ¦…πŸŒΏπŸŒ’

See The Branches, Reach For The Sky

Creatures Moving Within Strange Trees

Deep In The Earth, Roots Underlie

πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈ

Crow Sits On A Branch, He May Fly

If The Forest Will Let Him Leave

See The Branches, Reach For The Sky

πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈ

In This Spinney Madness Is Nigh

Slugs And Bugs That No One Can See

Deep In The Earth, Roots Underlie

πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈ

Under These Trees The Ground Is Dry

The Roots Hold Strong, Nothing Is Free

See The Branches, Reach For The Sky

πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈ

This Wooden Hell, You Should Pass By

This Here Place No Good Man Should Be

Deep In The Earth, Roots Underlie

πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈ

Who Grew This Forest? Evil, Why?

If You Enter, You'll Ne'er Be Free

See The Branches, Reach For The Sky

Deep In The Earth, Roots Underlie

πŸŒ˜πŸŒΏπŸ¦…πŸ‚πŸ•·οΈπŸƒπŸŽ‹πŸŒ³πŸŽ‹πŸƒπŸ•·οΈπŸ‚πŸ¦…πŸŒΏπŸŒ’
