2022 April PAD Challenge: Day 22
Write a poem every day of April with the 2022 April Poem-A-Day Challenge. For today’s prompt, write an organism poem.
Happy Earth Day!
For today's prompt, write an organism poem. The really cool thing about our planet is that it is loaded with a variety of living organisms, from one-celled prokaryotes and eukaryotes to complex creatures (like blue whales and rhinos). Write about several organisms, or pick one and make it the title of your poem.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at an Organism Poem:
"human"
we're only
after all
watching what
the others
say and do
and making
our mistakes
and learning
not learning
evolving
into what
we don't know
