Environmental Art

Camellia debris

arranges itself

according to the laws

of chance and necessity

in the style of Pollock.

Interesting piece, Reece! The Pollock comparison really resonates. Nature’s chaotic beauty mimicking abstract art is a clever observation. It reminds me of the simple yet engaging gameplay of Retro bowl – beauty in unexpected places. Perhaps exploring the planned vs. accidental element further could enrich the poem.
