Postcard from Earth

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. Helping the earth heal will help us live in the future. Today, I read a wonderful prompt for #writeout from the National Writing Project / National Park Service two week celebration of parks and the outdoors. Click the links for many ways and different different prompts to explore and write about the outdoors.

For this poem I found this idea from Park Ranger Tarryn of the Grand Canyon National Park. Tarryn suggested this:

“Imagine yourself standing on the landscape one million years in the future. Create a postcard depicting what you see. On the back, write a letter describing your experience. How will our world continue to change?”
#WriteOut Daily Spark

Back on Earth
Everywhere
In every space
A garden:
On the roof
A planting for each season
Variety that’s pleasing,
In each window- greenery shines-
A balcony of herb and floral vines
All around in any place
Path or road or waterways
All along grow the edibles
Sustainable delectables
As communities together
Created an earth that’s better.
