The Garden of Earthly Delights
Poem Inspired by the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch
The Garden of Earthly Delights is a poem written, recorded and produced by me.
The poem is inspired by my favourite painting of the same name by Hieronymus Bosch. As well as my love of nature, Greek Mythology and storytelling.
I have been interested in experimenting with different forms of poetry for a while now. It was a joy to stretch my creativity and blend images I had taken with spoken word.
In the Garden of Earthy Delights, leaves whisper
Ancient trees as wise as gods cradle the earths ceiling
The oil slick oak is the oldest secret keeper
Zeus gifts the clouds with thunder
Hera kisses the roots with gold
Branches bend to where the light glows
A tree is home to many stories told
In the garden of earthly delights, leaves whisper.
Paradise never lost when it grows.
In hell they saw the trunks for fire
Only the gods know the wisdom trees hold
