Soil diary/forum: Poems

Create a short poem inspired by soil. You may write in any style or use a simple format such as a haiku: a three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

Example:

Dark earth after rain 
Roots weaving unseen stories 
Life begins below

For inspiration, you may watch or read the poem ‘Doom and Bloom’ by Tia Meraki. It is the winning entry of the Synergy Slam: SOIL AND EARTH 2024 and captures the interconnectedness of natural cycling and humans in only about 2 minutes.
