Artist's Description
Our
high and
mighty
termite
mound
arises
far above
the ground,
and just as
deep, grows
underground.
Our nest is
blessed to be
immense. It gives
us all a firm
defense, superior
to any fence. It
shields us from our
enemies. It keeps us
cooler, by degrees.
From floods and droughts
it guarantees. A prize
nobody will assign in
architectural design, but
still our hill suits us just fine.

Artists have been accused of being self aggrandizing, long winded, name droppers. I hate it when the critics get it right! In an attempt to diffuse those kinds of accusations, regardless of how accurate they may be, I am writing this statement today. Each picture I make begins with a germ of an idea. I visualize how I...

Great light on the mound and I love all the reflections! v
William Fields replied:
Thanks Kate, this is one that I've been fond of and never seemed to get around to doing anything with it. Did you notice that the poem is in the shape of a mound? I'm convinced he did that purposefully. He writes for kids and I think it just adds another dimension of fun.
