The Millennial Urge
A fictional poem
The Millennial urge to get off the grid.
Grow an edible garden,
live in a tiny home. Have two cats,
three dogs, and of course, chickens
for their organic eggs.
If you’re really posh, you could have
your own Bee Hive. Organic honey.

Writing sporadically... I tried some challenges but never won anything. Sometimes my poetry helps me process whatever has been going on... sometimes it is pure fiction. Sometimes I like to write about pop culture and astrology.

Heartfelt and relatable
The story invoked strong personal emotions
Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.

Really! …those emails 😂
Okay, I want more...
Oh, the emails. I feel this.
It's interesting to see the shift/paradox of wanting city life to feel connected and wanting to escape completely. Definitely relatable for many living in a post-pandemic world.
Sounds so similar to my plan. I had missed the beehive :)
I feel this.
