Today was ordinary, a good busy work day, not much to report. I did notice that the weather was soft and mild, not hot at all yet, really pleasant. It has been a sweet spring, and we still have bluebonnets, not all burned up like hte last couple of drought springs. Today's prompt for a poem was "Island" and I got a little nuts with it.

We

No I Land
not isolate.
Connected,
We all land,
in the soup
we brew.
Sustaining
or toxic,
it is up to
all of us,
not just me,
not just you.

I love

"We all land,
in the soup
we brew."

I do love this angle on the idea of "island." You have been taking creative perspectives on the poems and I enjoy seeing what you come up with. I find I often like the simplicity of the poems with very short lines too.

Very, very clever, Victoria! I agree with your sentiments about landing in the soup we brew. Very well done!
