| Ibbi Pip Birdhouse Troll |
Ibbi Pip wanders through the musical forest
beneath the canopy of interlocking tree branches
her thoughts are filled with nature and human kind
she hums to the sound of chickadees and sparrows
singing her song of hope and love
Carrying her sack of colorful birdhouses
slowly but steadily she hangs each one with care
listening for the tap tap tap of a woodpecker
her mind drifts as she roams from tree to tree
singing her song of sharing the world
Ibbi observed humans building these in their yards
a vision formed, she found her purpose in life
sharing her creativity with a smile on her face
one birdhouse at a time her heart swells with love
singing her song of compassion for nature
sharing with dVerse Open Link Night hosted by Mish
author's note: I went to see an exhibit "Trolls Save the Humans" Created by Danish recycling artist Thomas Dambo from reclaimed materials, these larger-than-life figures blend folklore, sustainability, and storytelling.
How wonderfully you show us Ibbi Pip - a poem that flows as easily as a fable - Jae

If only there are many Ibbi Pips that can teach a thing or 2 to humans and make a better tomorrow. Great thoughts True!

Hanging birdhouses - very original.
ReplyDeleteI like your Ibbi, what an honorable profession!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the exhibit as a source of inspiration. What a lovely poem. We need more "Ibbi pips" in the world.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her and her song of hope and love - and her birdhouses. A gal after my own heart.
ReplyDeleteKudos, True. What a lovely story told in verse!
ReplyDeleteOh this is such a lovely poem. I love that the purpose in life is sharing her creativity with the world.
ReplyDeleteThis has triggered a very early memory in me that I can't quite get a hold of anymore. Maybe it was a dream....
