Elk Antler Arches
It's nice to create art without exploiting the nature
I like art and craft,
especially when they are made,
with natural things.
It’s honoring the earth,
to use what nature offers,
I am sure, true creativity,
is against exploitation.
We don’t have to use
toxic chemicals,
or spend a lot,
to create aesthetics.
In Jackson Hole,
in the state of Wyoming,
I saw something beautiful.
There were four gates,
made of fallen elk antlers
in the town square.
Crafted from antlers
gathered by Boy Scouts,
in nature reserves,
and some bought from collectors,
thousands were woven,
into iconic arches.
lovely, and all natural,
intricate, and educational.

Natural art is beautiful to see. That arch is glorious.
Oh that arch looks so beautiful. Loved your poem!
You are so right. I like when I see people craft stuff from wood and all sorts of junk. Good job.
Natural is always beautiful and best but can be expensive in the uk♦️🦋♦️
