Believe it or not, it was the second or third poem I wrote 8-10 weeks ago. I wrote it in response to a prompt (not here) on "flocculence."

I do remember the 'flocculence' word prompt some time ago. It stood out for me as well.

Good evening. Nice one, Vic. I love all the frilly fricatives in the first few lines - and "flocculence" is so delightfully you!😍 There is something intriguingly resilient & survivalist about lichen, I agree.

Yes, it is - see also here www.mpia.de/aktuelles/wi... This visualization has been iterated with quite a number of researchers (including those from the Gaia community); all the feedback I have heard so far was very positive. Where does your anti-flocculence stance come from?

Expose my soft heart
Shear it through
It is sheer patheticism
#Flocculence flown to air
Remove my gentle
