On day four, I found myself tasked with being grammatically ungrammatical and playing around with words. (Check out Jennifer’s prompt over at #verselove for more information). After another day spent with incredible geology filling my eyes at Valley of Fire, I decided to play around with some geology words. Here’s what I came up with!
Geo-Logic Logic
When boulders shoulder
Merging silica and limestone
Cross-bedding beehives of red

Sand dunes of dinosaurs
Mountain into fiery geometry
Geo-logical equations

Strata striate
Rainbows blasted in everpresent wind
Building hidey holes for whack a mole

Cryptobiotic soil
Gardens Cyanobacteria
Micro nourishments for life below the surface

Mind muddled, brain baffled
Geologic time unfurls
A spectacle of wonder

You make this place more beautiful with your crafted verse. I don’t know all the geological terms; however, the whole idea of these formations being a part of our earth fascinates me. Love “beehives of red.”
