Our Water Is In Danger
Mid-thought, mid-walk, and mid-sentence
Challenge: Write a poem that takes place mid-thought, mid-walk, or mid-sentence.
Water ceremony on Sunday
Why not on Monday
women and men
prayers, and then
songs and walking
and plenty of talking
~
why do that instead
of helping to spread
the word about addiction
recovery and affliction
priorities are important
no water is all-important
~
Look a squirrel
hollering a referral
get this done
it is not fun
but must be done hon
getting the word out
our water is in trouble, I shout
hasn't much clout
but many more others
you my brothers
can get it done, if I had my druthers
