The bees and the coneflower
The butterflies and the bush
The nectar
The pollen
The garden

The birds and the trees
The flock over the field
The seeds
The poop
The soil

Raspberries in summer
Red-stained fingers on a hand
My hand in yours

Not sure what this one is about but I think it applies to two of today’s prompts:

  1. Craft a poem that explores the relationship between humanity and nature.
  2. For today’s prompt, write a living poem.
