Today’s prompt continues, completely unintentionally, with the Earth Day theme. And it’s not even Earth Day.

Today’s Prompt

Write a poem in a single stanza that explores the concepts of Decay, Spring, and Blessing.

These cards are rather heavy on the ecopoetics. And you can certainly write about the cycles of natural life: fall’s decay enabling spring’s explosion, the blessing of it. But I would encourage you to use the Earth as a jumping off point: what can you discover in your own life by observing the natural world around you?
