Mother Earth......  

(A love sonnet )

Earth’s minions, why will you subjugate her wonder?

For she will not lay silent nor still nor dormant in riposte...

And will appropriation from our own home be this world’s blunder...?

In selfish schemes, oh vacant dreams and capital to boast.    

With Pirate brunt a plunder to bounteous soils, 

Bereft a topiary cloak, muddy tears erode her wealth....

Synthetic haze garrottes the air, angry orb broils,    

Oh black spotted emission, harbinger of ill health. 

And so bequeath your modest gifts to a cherished hillside

Scatter seeds to the places laid bare

Then diverse, her life finds bowers of plenty, far and wide

Become her choice, obtain with care...

Stay safe in her branches and treasure this art

Our earth, queen of wonder and nurturing heart.
