Earth Glow
He’s a creature small and lowly.
See him move along so slowly -
an earthworm.
He has no fins that he might swim,
nor wings that wind might carry him.
He’s earthbound.
And yet there’s something you should know.
God made him special; he can glow
like *earthshine!
*Earthshine is a newer word and synonymous to Earthlight, which is a natural phenomena of sun reflected off earth particularly on dark side of crescent moon.
This form is a derivative of one called The Compound Word Verse
