While walking along a lake in Minneapolis this morning and listening to the audiobook of BEAVER GIRL (coming soon!), this little guy came by to remind us that we need not renounce our hope of connecting with nature, and that all living beings are capable of such nurture.

Nurture? Rut, run!

Here’s my response to the prompt #nurture - thanks to our host of #vss365 Whispers @whisperingpoems.bsky.social

"I #nurture the notion that we could perhaps be more than what we are today?"

"What do you mean? As in a couple?"

"Oh, no. Might I interest you in one-to-one tabletop role playing games?"

"I #nurture a hope in my heart that someday all of us will be equal."
"Yeah you can crush that hope right now. Ain't ever gonna happen."
"You never know."

Bait

Blood and fur #nurture false trails,
battering red herrings in breadcrumbs.
Little Red shrugs and strays.

On the path or off,
she can't throw a bacon roll
without hitting a wolf.

"Hatson , school's model planets are missing"

"You think it's Geriarty?"

"Of course"

"What does he want with them?"

"To #nurture his interest in astronomy"

"He stole Earth too?"

"No. He left it behind"

"Why, Sholmes?"

"He still needs somewhere to escape, mate"

Land waters rise,
Find the swimmers
In the beginning

A joke,
Bespoken in
A pretence
Of holliness

Near enough
Of The blood,
Now comes
The flood

Oh dear
My Mother Hubbard,
Nuture what's
Left to Love.

We will live together on simple terms

My sanctuary in your home
Your sanctuary in my arms

I’ll bring logs up the granite steps
You’ll light and heat the summit

Children tall and small, will conspire to keep us company

We will
Laugh
Eat
Learn
Decorate

I will nurture

Doers and deciders
gripped by indecision
declared Earth a loss
and put her down
one Sunday in fire
and thunder.

From hermetic boardrooms
over sweeping vistas
they promise our ghosts
they'll #nurture what sprouts
from the grey ash
that blankets our beds.

#nurture conversations with utmost care
before they become heated
practicing safety-first with words

#vss365 #poetry

Feed a fever,
starve a cold;
#nurture an ague
from malarial marsh mould.
