Under the Snow Moon: For dVerse Poets
Under the Snow Moon
Moon of Snow. Moon of Sand.
Under a bleached white moon I stand.
Starless night, all alone.
Cold as ice. Cold as bone.
Here the sandcrabs burrow deep,
where no predators can creep.
All these memories I keep.
Turn out lights. Go to sleep.

Evolution or Devolution?
Their footsteps form a timepiece pressed into the rock:
portraits of a planet learning how to walk.
Bent on following a plan well out of their control,
instincts prodding them to race to fulfill their role.
Each tiny part of nature bound to do its part,
facing threats against the evolution of the heart.
What part of mankind’s journey waits around the bend?
Will our progress finally bring about our end?
For Sunday Whirl Wordle 632 the prompt words are: control rock portrait timepiece bent plan threats instinct race part footsteps planet

Payback Rhythms: For Weekend Writing Prompt
Payback Rhythms
The rhythm of the world as it tears us all asunder:
hurricane and fire, rain and wind and thunder.
Landslides, ashes, ruins waterlogged and crumbled—
all advances of mankind finally have tumbled.
Listen to the beating of the fist of fate.
Agamemnon’s coming. We haven’t long to wait.
Everything we do is done right back to us.
This scientific fact is not so nebulous.
This is an Extract from an earlier poem, rewritten to meet the rules of: Weekend Writing Prompt: Rhythm
