[hometext] => The earth nearly died between 800 to 700 million years ago. There was a great deep freeze which lasted 200 million years and almost wiped out every living thing. The only things to survive were bacteria, primitive plants and algae growing near volcanic vents at the bottom of our oceans. We came that close to total mass extinction! Phew, just think about it!
[bodytext] => Seven hundred million years ago the earth was near to death, The planet was a sheet of ice, a thousand mile depth. But lo! There creatures clung to life, defying all of fate, Surviving near the ocean floor, tubers, plants create. The planet, conscious of its doom, rebounded on its own, It struggled bravely to grab hold, and weave its soul alone! The rocks, the sky, the waters moaned in one determined cry, To turn the tide and there survive and from death's door defy. This planetary, indwelling soul ascribed to conscious life, Inhabits now for all of us, and guards is like a wife! The planet's strength is in its core, for Nature's soul is there, One animist possessed of life to keep us in its care. ___________________________________ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Varro [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
