I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

For "Space Blog

"Humanity"   [E] by creative writer

Review? Unfortunately this is a list not a poem; however, each item could inspire a poem or a story or better yet an essay (like a blog or journal entry). It also needs a grammar check. I'm not going to review nor rate it as the writer is either very young, very new, has a dialect I'm not familiar with or English isn't their native language. All of which is fine but not reviewable.

Prompt: How do you feel about humanity?

Depends on my day.

There are a lot of us. And we squeeze out other useful species. A monocultural waste of flesh according to certain points-of-view. On the other hand, cockroaches and rats love us.

Individually we may be interesting, and of some use; but, we resemble a planted pine tree farm or palm nut plantation. Both sterile and hostile to plant, insect and animal diversity. A food desert so to speak.

There are days I'd cheer for the aliens among us to wipe us out or at least reduce our numbers. I wonder how edible we are.

For "Blogging Circle of Friends Day 2984: January 17, 2021

Prompt: Write about a new start.

The rhinos were looking forward to the move. Their long hairy coats weren't suited for the heat of the brushlands. Meadows beckoned them. Good grubs awaited them.

Old Spar told the others how the invading liberators had quelled the two legged vermin that were now kept in concrete cages behind walls they dare not breach. The rhinos weren't the only ones who were set free on the old farm fields. Groups of horses and ostriches mingled with zebras and a few oxen. They all kept watch out for the hungry marauders... a pack of wild dogs.

Once upon a time... his rheumy eyes gazed inward ... we barely survived the human war upon our world. Our hairy ancestors had died out, but a small group of scientists brought us back. Now we can march to the north where the grass grows greener and the cold will make us glad we have these woolly coats.

Someday, maybe after the invaders have helped them to mature, humans will be allowed to join us.

Received a pretty RED ribbon today as I tied for 1st place in "Writing 4 Kids Contest for December. January's prompt is 'skating' ... and I want that trinket! *Laugh*

As I told Cubby I need to find a better title and rewrite to strengthen it. IMO... it could make a cute booklet I could send as a thank-you gift.

And I was gifted a badge too: Merit Badge in Writing 4 Kids

Congratulations on your 1st Place win for the December 2020 Round of  [Link To Item #1999597] !

This really cheered me up today. Makes me want to write more story-poems for kids. They are short. They can be silly! I can have fun with language. (They can be subversive ... *Shock2* ... shhhh ... think of the Lorax.)
