For today's poem we steal (borrow?) a line from a favorite book, use that line as a title for our poem, write the poem, and then change the title. I opened up The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien to a random page (841) and grabbed this line which jumped out at me: "Foot by foot. It's not far" Pippen is helping Merry to the Healing Houses in chapter VIII.
Foot by foot. It's not far. Inch by inch we'll raise the bar Canning food in mason jars Driving our electric cars Energy got from a star More green growth and less black tar No more forests burnt to char No more Earth's fair face we'll mar Inch by inch we'll raise the bar Growing better than we are.
