New Zealand

I do my best to heal
                                   Water tries to flow
                                                                Air makes effort to breeze
                                                                                                             Earth worms its way up
                                                                                  Fire cracks me up
                                                               I am a mole
                                            I dug a hole
       They dug holes in me
                                            Life flows out
                                                                   Food crawls in
                                                                                           I crawled into one of the holes 
                                                         and worked my way 
                          down, down, down
                                                         Past the magnificent field 
                                                                                                     of blinding lava
                                                                                                                              And came back out on the other side
                                                                            I asked a tree: "Where am I?". 
                                It replied: "New Zealand"

Space Cadet February 15, 2017 at 7:42 PM Per earlier -- this is Great! love it. - w Darren White February 16, 2017 at 3:03 AM Thanks Wesley :)

Agnes Krampe February 14, 2017 at 6:58 AM Cool poem, Darren :) Darren White February 14, 2017 at 7:21 AM Ha, Agnes, glad you like it :)

Chris Green February 14, 2017 at 6:38 AM Very cool Darren. When I was a kid I was told if I dug straight down I would eventually end up in China, but New Zealand sounds a whole lot nice to me. :) Darren White February 14, 2017 at 6:44 AM :D If you start digging where I live, you probably end up in New Zealand, nice huh?
