EACH DAY A NEW WORD / EACH DAY A NEW PIECE - ON HIATUS. It has been over five years of writing a daily poem and I needed a bit of a break. I'm not sure what the next step for this project will be. In the meantime, I am reviewing the poems written to compile into a new anthology. Thank you for joining me on this journey and enjoy the poetry.

munificent
munificent Gaia
spread her wealth
like an eager bride's legs
and we with all her bounty
laid before us in sensuous splendor
instead frigid and greedy miners
ignore the joys she gives freely
to dig and drill and destroy
to prove our power over her
we muck and mar her face
and claim that she is ours to exploit
but battered wives may rebel
and she may kill us off
before we murder her as well
