The world is trembling:
Walks unsteadily – unsure
Nowhere left to go.

Ring false in my ear, as though
Someone is playing

Today I woke up @ 5:08 am. I went into the shower before 5:30 am. I went through all of my emails including posting to my social media by 9 am. And I worked on my ongoing Name Day Database. I have just under 31,000 names in my Excel sheet. Once it gets fully completed, I will get it published for the entire planet. My mother & I went all the way to Home Hardware on Commercial Drive for soil & plants. Since they had none, we went to Tengs on 34th for plants before coming home for the rest of the day. I am really tired.

Dear Melissa,
I got my kittens on Friday. They’re so cute. They were born on Thursday August 13, 1992 9:39 pm. They have fleas. Not much more to say. Love, Tara K. Torme

POETRY PROMPT
While scientists might describe the motion of snakes as rectilinear motion, Emily Dickinson’s poem “A narrow Fellow in the Grass” refers to the snake as “a Whip Lash / Unbraiding in the Sun.” This week, read scientific descriptions, or browse through video clips, of your favorite animal’s movements. Then, write a poem that employs unusual word choice, unexpected imagery, or mimics in some way the physical motion of an animal. Perhaps the manipulation of rhythm, sound, spacing, or repetition will help highlight the movement you capture in your poem.
