For the Earth Day that is up and coming on April 22, this is the second year for this challenge so I thought I'd make it an annual thing... So write a poem for your thoughts on the Earth and environment.. It doesn't have to be depressing, like mine.  Our Mother Earth 45 Years since we left our home and traveled the dark and empty night A million ships, a billion strong searching for a home to end our flight Worlds and Worlds have come and gone Not "ONE" was ever right Oceans of tar and toxic gas the horror of their sight Where is the blues and emerald greens white puffs to roam the sky's The morning songs of chickadees before the sun was high With ozone gone and acid rain the cancer from the sky we cut the trees that helped us breath Murder is our crime Without remorse, our thoughtless course meant DEATH would come in time Now gone for good, the world of birth The sweet, the innocent, "Our Mother Earth". James Parker Haley (c) 1992 Here's a link for some ideas about Earth Day if your really want to get into it. http://www.earthday.net/ |

Park, thanks for reminding us about this - it is of the utmost importance, especially in the U.S. where our new prez. ain't exactly known for his conservation efforts. Pretty soon, he'll want to drill for oil in your back yard! I'll be responding to your challenge. Cor |

Parker.. Without remorse, our thoughtless course meant DEATH would come in time Now gone for good, the world of birth The sweet, the innocent, "Our Mother Earth". Thanks for helping us remember. |
