23/10/2014

For today’s prompt, write a foundation poem. This could be a poem that reinforces a solid foundation of morals and high ideals. Or it could be about a foundation in the organizational sense (Arthritis Foundation, CDC Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). Or heck, write a poem about pouring a concrete foundation.

FOUNDATION
by John Yeo 


This is the soil that nourished the plant that grew and thrived.
This is the seed that was planted in the soil
This is the plant that grew from the seed, 
Taking its life from the soil.


These are the roots, anchoring the plant 
As it grew from the seed, nourished by the soil.
This is the wind, that attacked the plant, with vicious gusts.
As the plant took root in the soil.


This is the plant, rooted deeply in the nourishing soil 
These are the roots spreading deeply and firmly under the soil 
Securing the plant from the wild wind,
Creating a firm foundation.
