EARTH POPPET

 

Clay baked in an oven to make a face

Green represents Earth, no special race

Spanish moss from trees becomes her hair

Dollar store kerchief makes a robe so rare

Charms and beads enhance her appeal

That are used in sickness for us to heal

Flower glued to a piece of palm tree

She spends her time curing us willingly

Poppets are us, seeking good

Sacrificing their time on a piece of wood

Green is her color, using Earth’s herbs

To make us whole as diseases she curbs...
