Terra.

Earth.

An average planet,
With an average sun,
In an average galaxy,
An average story has begun,

Earth.

An average orbit,
Has got an average moon,
An average atmosphere,
And the point is coming soon,

Earth.

An average planet,
But it is a place of great beauty,
We are extraordinary life,
Looking after has become our duty.

I really like this one. The structure is great, talking about our average planet and then the last stanza gives us the point, which is that we are some of the beings that makes this planet special. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great poem, Andrew!  I liked the format and the style very much.  The flow is nice.. Very good job!

Some how I felt you could have added a bit more to this poem to make it better. The idea was jolly good though!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
