Earth

Working on the Trifecta weekend challenge which was to create a 33 word piece about the crust, mantle, and core of earth, interpreted in whatever manner. You can read my entry here. The first piece that almost wrote itself was far more than 33 words, and since I'm striving to write more in 2013, I certainly don't want to discard inspiration.

Round and round she goes

The sun above, the sun below

The mighty ball of many layers

Brimming with eternity’s players

They trample through the fertile crust

Drill the mantle thrust by thrust

When the core erupts in righteous anger

They’ll deny they knew the danger

Round and round she goes

The sun above, the sun below

Such a wonder of majestic glory

Deemed merely as man’s personal quarry
