Your Daily Theme [Figment]
for June 18
It’s Only Natural
Get inspired by nature, and build a poem or story around something from the natural world. It could be something as majestic as a mountain, or as simple as an acorn you found in your backyard.
Stepping out
Of self-imposed quarantine
Something seemed
A little bit different.
The air was like frigid water
Thrown in my face.
It tasted like mint strips
Melting on my tongue.
It smelled like grass,
Freshly mown and alive
With the crystal-clear water
It was fed.
It felt like every cell in my body
Went from flaccid to
Kool-Aid refreshed turgid
In the time than it took
For me to draw a breath
Like water from a well
Or a painting
With ice blue, lime green
Lavender and yellow.
So there is something you can’t get
On the internet
After all.
