I’m going to sink into oblivion, obviously linking this planet we’re living on to contagion so many see raging in our lives. The planet eyes a sad reprise in an extinction surprise designed to rid it of us—such a fuss to save the ducks, dolphins, and newts. Bring luck to what our environs once meant, turning now to the battle cry: Arise quills, venoms, and ills! Erase the worldwide virus that is us!

I love the tone of this poem, Michael. Particularly like the multiple in-line rhymes and the general rhythm of the piece. But I particularly like the story, the reference … maybe for obvious reasons: https://poetjanstie.com/2017/04/20/the-chalice/
