Many great blue herons in the Pacific Northwest choose a surprising place to lay eggs.

The background is a stock photo of a perched heron, overlaid over mint green. 

The text reads:

Safety
is relative.
The wise great blue heron
lays eggs in the safest harbour
they know.

Nest thieves
avoid this lair -
except for the warden,
who reigns supreme in his domain
of fear.

A trade -
a known evil
rather than an unknown
legion of sundry predators
prowling.

Nurs'ries
kept by a threat
demanding sacrifice.
 This nanny for herons, the great
eagle.

Sunset at the Lake

I wish
those fearful kids
wrenched away from our land
by masked men could be seeing this
instead.

Sunset on Lake Ontario

#Prompt: #Remainder

From my 16 year old son, Dylan:

Writing
With syllables
Is hard - you have to space
Each word correctly or you get
Remain...

ders. Oops, I did it.
It's impossible to miss.
I hate these poems!!!!!

Submission for #WCCChallenge #Simplify
Blogpost: blog.illestpreacha.com/wcccsim

For this week's Creative Code Challenge by @sableraph : "Simplify", OverLayHorizons takes #LiveCodeLab, #Seis8s, #Ruby & #Python Code to make the poetry and audiovisuals.

Simplification Process

The LiveCodeLab & Seis8s coded portions take the form of #Quintains(Any Poem with five lines) and #CInquains(A Poem that follows the form 2,4,6,8,2 in this case, it will be the words that appear per line and not syllables).

LiveCodeLab portion is aided by #OBS and overlaid sketches.

To Simplify the poetry section, the rules/prompt is coded in Ruby & Python. This is done by making a comparison between 6 random assortments of the alphabet and only outputting letters that match.

Fire
Sprites hypnotise
Two tone wall of sirens
Breaks the restraints of the enthralled
Terror
Abaddon welcomes those who stayed
Tears sting the smoke drenched eyes
As survivors
Escape
