Just Another Degree of Separation

I know a guy who knows a guy
You better reach out before your well runs dry
We’re all part of the contact nation
Just another degree of separation

In the dark to daylight is just a matter of degree
And clouds add separation, wouldn’t you agree
A switch or Mother Nature can make this conversion
Just another degree of separation

Strong wind or tornado, the distinction is not so neat
Between water and ice, the difference is heat
Yes, the environment around us contains variations
Just another degree of separation

An olive branch and strawberry are on the savanna
Knock knock, orange you glad, I didn’t say banana
Even food types can be part of this conversation
Just another degree of separation

From Earth to the moon, man passed that test
The red planet is on deck for the next conquest
The outer planets will provide further migration
Just another degree of separation

This is my response to Linda Kruschke’s Paint Chip Poetry Challenge Prompt #9. The challenge is to write a poem in response to the prompt card that includes at in the dark and two of the other paint chip words or phrases. The prompt phrase is Six Degrees of Separation and the prompt words are: the red planet, orange you glad, strawberry, tornado, ice, olive branch, and in the dark.
