Messy As Hell

.
earth
still juvenile
with its volcanic complexion
shimmy-shakey dances
huff 'n puffin' ways
thrashing
pounding
explosive
tantrums

Mother earth?

more like
a rude little twirp

I've thought of earth's eruptions and earthquakes as an attempt to shake us parasites off. We're destroying the earth, and it's only trying to defend itself. ;-)

It is such a secret place, the land of tears. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Thanks for your thoughts. My thoughts on the matter: no matter what we humans do, the earth will regenerate itself, although we will probably not be around to witness that glorious time

I'm not sure humans are the epitome of consciousness, though I feel that we're still going through birth pangs.

Cool poem. Hot topic. ;-)
