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
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

I haven't been writing for a while. But I miss poetry so much. And what better muse, than mother earth, herself?
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?
ReplyDeleteWhat shall we do indeed,Björn? For one, we teach. And empower the younger generation. But is it too late?
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteSo true Mary. But at least, as writers, we can help influence others to love mother earth.
DeleteStopping evolution is a human task (that takes teaching I agree)
ReplyDeleteZQ
Such a dilemna.
DeleteMother Earth is the boss and so it might be a good idea to be kind stewards of this earth instead of greedy plunderers..
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you say!
ReplyDeleteNature and the earth will always win out!!....beautiful write though and thanks for you kind comments on my piece..x
ReplyDeleteMother earth is a beauty unrivaled ~ Perhaps someday we will get her message to take care of her gifts ~ Good to see you ~
ReplyDeleteMother Earth will decide.
ReplyDeletei specially like the american sentence & agree with Cressida...
ReplyDeleteif and when mother earth decides she has finally had enough...i am not sure i want to be around...just saying....smiles..
ReplyDeleteI 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 ..
ReplyDeleteA very nice dedication to mother earth but we have done enough damage to her and now we should be ready to bear its burnt.
ReplyDeleteI really like the earth poem at the bottom. You captured some of its beauty so well.
ReplyDeleteVery strong imagery on the first. Especially enjoyed the second. Well done Pleiade!
ReplyDeleteThe second poem is so great. It says so much more than just the small words it is written with.
ReplyDeleteMother be her earth or human soul...carries a heavy burden to nurture and enlighten....sometimes we do not hold on to what is given....Love what you did here in all these pieces Ninot....lovey to see you back...I have missed you!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you here! Love the response to each challenge .. reminds me of how Anthony North fashioned his blog posts (I saw that you wondered about him) ~ the Pleiades firm is incredibly difficult! you managed it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteSo pleasing to read out loud...thank you...
ReplyDeleteSad truth. Nice writing. I love Mother Earth and try my best to live a life that protects her.
