Earth

Eighty revolutions Around the sun I will soon experience Residing on this old planet while Time presses steadily toward Heaven—for eternity. 5/13/2021 written for "Planet Poetry" Contest sponsored by Matt Caliri

Thanks, Mystic. I got home from the VAMC today. If I want to live, I have to be much more careful with diet. But, then, I am a tough ol' bird. Again, thanks for your thoughts, friend.

I thought I wouldn't enter this contest because I had no thoughts about dealing with a planet. This came to me, so I decided to enter it. We'll see. I'm doing too much contest rhyme and not taking enough time for serious poetry. I've written some good stuff, but I wouldn't consider this for inclusion in an anthology!!! LOL
