Earth-2

Earth

Mono syllables are potent
But are best left  untouched
They call for a gargantuan grasp.

For this monumental  mono
Commonplace,though
With a contemporary spin, 
A monologue just wont do.

And without a twin,
Its original  ware ,hard and soft , 
Ever  a  win-win 

Holder of holocausts
Moulder of magnificence
Fairly fed on presaging  gods

Fielding  primordial fate 
Flourishing and floundering
Female-male  fecundity

Llipid  life limpet like stuck
In  non- finite lines, measured out
And treasured  nonetheless
In miles and guiles,
Millennia and   manias

What so impressed me about your verse was that you actually 'ran' with the topic, I received way too many verses where the poets did not even delve the surface of the topics potential and YOURS did! Yours was about LIFE warts and all. BIG Congrad's for your originality. Light & Love
