This is a poem about Mother Nature.Tribute to Earth Day.Free verse. |
My hair flows across the terrain and pours into the ocean 2258772 My tears drop into puddles of small ponds and lakes My smile is a rainbow that brightens the sky My children play in the fields and swim in the depths of my soul My moods affect the tides as I marvel at the silver moon. Yet if I am upset I make trouble If you break my heart-I'll cause an Earthquake If I become angry a Volcano erupts If I cry, I make Floods and Tsunamis If I'm dizzy from being too disoriented I make tornadoes My beauty begins to fade over time I make Mudslides If I feel like my heart is going cold I cause vIce Storms I cry icy dangerous icy, windy tears of Blizzards Then knock icy mountains down in Avalanches If I feel love and care-I gently snow And watch my children play Every child's laughter snow angel melts a cold spot in my heart But this makes unnessary ice floes melt It strands my children with vanishing homes and starvation I'm your Earth I am the only planet you have So take care of me like I take care of you Because I am the sunshine that peeks through the trees on a cloudy day I am the gentle breeze that touches your face I am Earth and the Mother of all that was, is, and shall be |
