The nurturing of water
And all of its uses
Which are so widespread
Even jam cannot coat bread
In comparison
The reservoir of fresh water
Is worth the lottery of whichever
Universe might never find
This rare seltzer
That is a reminder
We should pay attention
To what we have
instead of not
Else we will rot due
To our own greed
Confusing wants with needs
Upon which so much depends]]> 2020-12-22 18:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038552297 Grace maybegra000 https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038554700 So much depends upon soap

Glistening and bubbly

Cleansing us from our sin

A glass jar 

Pumping the thick liquid 

Cleansing us from the world

So much depends upon soap]]> 2020-12-22 18:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038554700 Anna Rothe https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038557656 So much depends upon... 

Whether you decide to wake up

Leaving your soft, warm, cocoon of a bed 

Or staying under, deciding to rest your head

Insignificant, dull, and filthy 
But necessary for all life.
Breeding grounds of nature
Blossoming rainbow petals, the sweet nectar of the wild
Taking root in the rich, damp soil
Home of the vibrant flowers, host of towering trees
Tomb of the ancient bones imprisoned deep below
And binding the ground together.

So much depends upon the dirt
After all, our planet is called the Earth.]]> 2020-12-22 18:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038567670 Lydia B https://padlet.com/ashleycardona1/7k8vcy5fkictbcj9/wish/1038591798 so much depends upon
the pillow.

the soft, feathery surface must
be the dictator of your comfort 

the ultimate decider of your night’s sleep:
restless nightmares dripping coal-colored ink
swallowing you into blackholes and orbiting in
the hopeless nothingness of space for eternity—
or transcendent dreams surrounding you in sunflower petals
gently brushing your unmoving body until you 
are brought to the dawn of the next day.

a golden ring of light casted above the horizon 
like an arrow shot from Apollo’s bow 
blessing light into your very dreary den
where you lay

depending on nothing but your 
pillow.

that chance unrequested
The encounter that decided who would be
your lover, soulmate, 
your best friend forever, 
before
You knew what was being done,
fate writing your lore


The day you were born,
what clothes you wore
The four friends
you were always with
But never could you have met them
if not for chance encounters
All of it was unpredictable

A yellow, lined legal pad 
Filled with smooth blue etchings
Sat by my desk
Next to similar anthologies 
Equal in their unfinished state

So much depends upon
The bright warm light
From an old bulb
In a broken fixture
Partnered with a harsh lamp
And ever-glowing LEDs

upon

that smile
simple, yet unique

different with every being
changing in an instant
if the wrong thing is released

why is it a task
that we can fake?
hiding what is deep inside
from those who pry
why do we pry?

we care
empathetic, deep down in many
how many exactly?
unsure,
yet it lingers in the back
of one’s mind

can you show me that smile?
pretty please
the gorgeous tilt, the small curl
of your lips
shining
making me addicted
to the sight
