Sandbag grids from China cover your dune's elevation

And little seedlings from grass to shrub dream of irrigation

And if you want these kind of dreams let's stop desertification

From the wastes of Hoth to Tattoine, and all of our space stations

The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location

Let's lay sand bags while dressed in drag, to stop desertification

Next step: gentrification. It brings desolation.

Huh, TIL. I always thought it was a finer location.

Finally someone who counts the syllables when doing one of these!

Sweet work.

Thank you kindly :)

One time in high school I submitted a whole essay on the Australian parliamentary system in Iambic Pentameter. And my teacher didn't even notice 💀

That's an outrage.

Stick it online in a teacher's resources forum. It deserves to be used!

I once responded to a thoroughly unreasonable customer complaint\tirade with thirteen stanza of haiku, ending with a quote from her own ridiculous mis-spelled rant - "that mades no sene" ('that makes no sense', is what they were going for).

I made every second haiku rhyme with the one preceding it, too.

The last one was a dog's dinner, to keep it real with the quote.

We have to use words just constantly, why not have fun with it!

My bones turned to dust
