magical is the sunlight, each and every day
showing us things of beauty and wonder
like the prettiest blue sky ever, so lovely,
after a stormy night of lightning and thunder

Wonderful poem. First stanza so relaxing and then, BAM! You slapped me in the face with the second one. You have highlighted a real concern for this planet. Thank you.
This is an amazing piece....... A call to save Mother Nature.....
and when I see these things my heart is saddened to see our home polluted gives me tears! these lines tell a lot about your idea. thank you for concentrating on such themes and bring it to the poetic world. thank you again. tony
Great to see a shout to the readers of care for the planet...2 balls of plastic rubbish as big as a small country flow in the middle of the Atlantic and the Pacific the dumping cheers and regards
Great poem, thank you for being aware, most grateful for the wonderful spread of beauty and consciousness.
You showed me a magical scene of a small rabbit following a butterfly, and then hit me with the reality of what man is doing to our planet. A very powerful way of motivating us all to action.
This packed a punch, your first stanza shows a breathtaking images and scenery one sees from a Disney film, and then you start to contrast that with the reality of the second stanza showing the disintegration of the myth, as we live in an age of oil spills, deforestation, pipelines, polluting the very essence of our Eden, for the spoils of progress. I think people DO care, not as many as their should be but their are people out their trying to make things better.
Good morning poet Rachel. I may have read this one earlier. This sure makes one think about what we are doing to our earth and to one another. I enjoyed, Loyd
Dear blessed bard, I am impressed and sit wondering at your honest concerns in such a serious issue of the modern world. Nature laments, rather keeps sobbing on its malignant bruises that man, her intimate inmate causes her. I believe, all the poets, at least, of this beautiful planet might join hands together and write one day, one poem each, exclusively on this issue and publish it digitally and in hard copies, sell across the world, collect a fund and use that fund for water purification, waste management, and most important of all, to educate the public of the gravity of this issue. May God Bless, and let us all be determined to the core to realize this mission. Thank you very much for inspiring those eyes who come across your verses. True, there are many, but what is lacking is consistency in such a sensible stride in saving nature, the absolute blessing from the Lord of the Worlds. Blessings to all who contribute their words and prayers to this cause.
Our environment is our life, destroy it and we destroy ourselves. Excellent write Rachel - well said and well done.
the world is blighted with infinite no of problems, , , , we humans have made a mess of ourselves, , , despite knowing whats wrong and right, , , , we do things that pleases us and we dont care if that thing is bad, , , , wonderful poem that shows your concern to mother nature, , ,
Your two-stanza poem shows the bitter reality of the planet: it's half a paradise garden, sweet, abundant, inviting, and. probably the only such planet in the Galaxy, the other half is a degraded, abused, neglected dump yard. It's shocking how clearly a 25-30 line poem can express both the beauty and ugliness of our common home, and yet millions of people who could make a change ignore the reality. Imagine our great-grandchildren writing a poem like this in the early 22nd century: What will the percentage of Garden Space and Dump Yard Space for them? And how will they think of us? I agree with John Westlake's comment below!
Indeed, priceless are the gifts of nature. A great message here, too! ! : D
Very well written Rachel. Thanking you in focusing upon a vital issue where the mankind is directly effected.
Beautiful poem, written so drawing the contrast natural beauty and man made problems. Yes we all should be conscious about it and help improve it in whatever way we can..
..its great that you show your concern in such a beautiful way.............its true, we haven't inherited earth form our ancestor's, but borrowed it from the next generation..........regards
I like very much your poem
