National Poetry Month: Fortune Cookie Poetry 24, “Just wait for the right moment. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.”

Yesterday’s poem just sort of came to me. Today’s was more difficult. However, I had so much fun with the concrete poetry form, I decided to try it again. It’s sort of an Earth Day poem (two days late), and it started out a little more lighthearted than it ended up. I’m not super happy with it, but that’s kind of what this month is all about, right? Writing a poem from a fortune cookie prompt in a short amount of time. It may end up as a masterpiece…it may not.

So, take it as it is. I hope you enjoy it a little, anyway.
