With the metals

they engraved some ferns on

the mothers pare the breads

and spread some blood jam

dug off the jars promising original synthetic fruits

in them.

The buses croon in.

They put new deer and rabbits curtains on their windows,

hiding the sharp clefts on those panes,

thus sparing the mothers from seven years cut,

though the boys remain susceptible to the tetanus.

No, we must not think negative.

We must watch the glints on those flowered metals,

hear the deer, rabbits and the world they represent.

Today marks the Earth Day.

Today the yoga signs flourish in our vegetable gardens.

Though many rally at Earth Day Celebrations, Mother Earth is losing the game.

Thanks for sharing with Triple Name Club.

Thank you for your post. Trying to "find Waldo" in your words...the thread that unlocks the meaning hidden from us on first glance. Beautiful images to contemplate...

The rabbits climb upon inverted clouds
The deer harvests the flowers for poetics
A shine comes rom the metals
Resting upon the poet's shoulder
For he is returned tenfold the
Warmth of the sun,,, And somewhere
A mother's heart cries in pride

(in other words, the earth thanks you my dear brudder)

I think poor Mother Earth is pregnant with a nazi baby and is being slowly poisioned and raped without respect. Her natural seeds are being genetically engineered, trees clear cut, water poluted, oil and minerals being sucked and strip mined out of her...her animals being killed off and needs more than one day of honor...and as brudder Ku says...the cockroaches are in control...she is a living organism on life support

Mother Earth survived the Asteroid bombardment
that destroyed the dinosaurs: she will survive us.
In a few short million years, she shall lay down
new beds of coal and oil for the next industrial revolution,
while building species variety by good old-fashioned
survival of the fittest, fought with tooth and claw.
One day Archaeologists shall understand our plight:
"If they had instead celebrated Human Day instead of Earth
And tried to love each other, would they have seen the light?
