POEM STARTER
Inspired by Reagan Stanton
Write a poem about decay.
Normally associated with death and disease, decay is also vital in nature for the next generation of life. What perspective will you take?
Beauty Does Not Stop At Death To You
You smile at the deer eating grass
By the underpass
You smile at the dead ones
On the highway too
Beauty does not stop at death to you
Hyphea spread, mushrooms fruit, on a body used to life and pursuit.
The earth enriched so tree spouts shoot
Dark and fresh for native roots
Death must come for life anew
P.S. + E.M.
