Happy Earth Day Poem

(dedicated to Calia14 and All Poets and Writers)

Deonils
Yesterday was not as good, at least for Calia and me
She needs weather and better business
I lost my Father's Day poem (dare I blame AC!)
I must prepare drafts in notebooks hence

But today is Earth Day celebration; I smile
Through the rain showering shoe and head
As I wend my way through our nation's capital
Clouds, rain, sun peek smiles and laugh ahead

I will sort my trash more carefully today
I shall eat no meat or chicken either
These few things I can do for Earth Day
You will find better ways and superior

Even if "Mother" Earth is less true than "Sister,"
Since Earth, Stars and all life is but Created ...
I urge myself and others to celebrate ..answer
today's mail from others who are more dedicated!

  • earth day in Washington, DC in the rain can be fun, especially when my attitude of gratitude
  • seemed to be rewarded with a sun that was peeking and promised to peak soon!
Yesterday was not so good but today will be celebratory, for we owe it to our sibling in creation, Earth, today.
