Here's the second of my two poems published in the fall edition of Dirigible Balloon. As mentioned, the Fall theme was "Imagining the Future." This poem is called "One Teeny Little Seed."

Perhaps as we've published two anthologies, we ought to think about a third to round it off? To my mind, a trio seems more suitable than a brace (goodness knows we have enough poems to choose from on the Dirigible Balloon) ... 🙂
