Love this one, Ashley! Love your take on the challenge and the idea of the challenge too, and sorry for taking so long, but here is my humble offering - https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/the-pathway-ahead-of-me%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

This is such a cool idea, and your poem is awesome! I really love the “wear her dirt in my hair like a crown” line! Thanks for sharing this prompt! I’m excited to dig into it!!
Oh a lovely earth melting poem. Just found it on another story. I will take a whack at it. Very interesting,
Gorgeous imagery!
Gorgeous imagery here, Ashley. Seeing someone sprawled in muddy grass and describing it like a crown and a jewel to be treasured...that is so lovely to behold in my mind's eye. Great idea for a challenge! (Pending...)
What a fun idea! I was a little surprised by what my first name conjured... https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/the-breath-we-have-not-taken%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Lovely poem and great idea!
Beautiful poem, and interesting idea for a prompt! I really liked "Allow me to melt into the earth, Become one with Mother Nature, And wear her dirt in my hair like a crown. A jewel to be treasured."
What a creative idea. Such a great poem ❤️
Love this idea!
