National Poetry Month Day 22: Earth Day #NaPoWriMo

A poem for Earth Day and Day 22 of National Poetry Month.

The Vanishing Earth

Feel the squish, squish

of wet beach sand

beneath bare feet

the smooth slime

of mud puddles

in the rain

Inhale the scent

of the forest

after a thunderstorm

the first flower

of spring

Experience nature

before it vanishes

under asphalt
