Earth - couplets, haiku and a pleiade



I wonder why the clouds are grey
With not a sight of raindrop all day

Rivers no longer rush with thrill to sea
Amidst sluggish crawl to break free

From all the hazards from the towns
From way up high, down to the ground

Is it time for mother earth to retreat
Abandon all of us to our own beat

Shall we be like moths to the flame
When no one is left to take the blame

As she rises in all her fury and might
And we will be defeated in this fight.

For Magpietales

___


mother earth sighs with apprehension as she tries to break free,
no more

For Poets United

___

Earth - beauty, unrivaled
Ever faithful sunrise
Each moment, like crystal
Evermore as we part
Evening, a hallowed treat
Expansive starry night
Earth - beauty, unrivaled

For Dversepoets

  1. What a nice set.. and the theme of mother earth and what we do to here is one I can sympathize with.. what shall we do to change?

    1. What shall we do indeed,Björn? For one, we teach. And empower the younger generation. But is it too late?

  2. I think we need to work as hard as we can to show that we are Mother Earth's friend rather than her enemy; we have been disappointing and hurting her way too long.

    1. So true Mary. But at least, as writers, we can help influence others to love mother earth.

  3. Stopping evolution is a human task (that takes teaching I agree)

  4. Mother Earth is the boss and so it might be a good idea to be kind stewards of this earth instead of greedy plunderers..

  9. I think the earth could be covered with sulphurous clouds , oceans of acid ...but in them , there will be some bacteria that really thrives on acid , loves it in fact ....perhaps then something will eventually crawl out that breathes sulphur , settles down with another little sulphur breather and build a little nest ..

  10. A very nice dedication to mother earth but we have done enough damage to her and now we should be ready to bear its burnt.

  13. The second poem is so great. It says so much more than just the small words it is written with.
