A Maternal Plea
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

In the bygone days, I held you so near,
When turquoise skies were truly clear,
And emerald valleys sparkled in the sun,
And the pristine air could hurt no one.

And aqua waters shimmered transparency,
But that was long ago, in your infancy;
When towering, lush trees grew anywhere,
While riotous blooms crowded elsewhere!

Tibet
by Barry C

Tibet dreams of a wing shaped
Lake that reflects a
Panopticon masked men drop
Feathers from times wings dipped
In poison into the waters.
The genie is caught rubbing
His own lamp, rapid
Glacier retreat. Does lightning
Have eyes, The Tibetan Plateau is warming faster than the global average.

Thanks To Nature
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

Thank you for the air we breathe in
So that we can filter out
Dust and dirt;
Thank you for the water we drink
So that we can water plants, trees,
Green roots and ruts.

Thank you for the food we eat
So that we live to save the canopy
Of man and mankind;

Is Our Arrogance So Strong – in the wake of the Corona virus pandemic
by Dr. Robert Ippaso

Are those tears of sorrow or pure wrath,
God’s anger at mankind
Put on earth to tread his path,
Just to see us stumbling blind.

Little knowing, quite uncaring
Of our world so full of life,
Wanton damage truly glaring,
Callous actions clearly rife.

Environmental Legacy
by Aloo Denish Obiero

Our lasting legacy lies not,
In the towering stone structures,
But in,
The forests we nurture,
The oceans we safeguard, and
The skies we keep pure.

It’s burning
by Kait Nelson

Woke up to see the world on fire
I always knew it’d come to be
Yet, knowledge did not bring the water
Now ashes drifting lazily
Begin to build upon the ground
Silence transforms into sound
While the sun just circles round and round
The sun just circles round and round

An empty bed, an icy sheet

A Stroke of Hypocrisy
by Kimani Hare

Destruction in the name of the Arts,

Hypocrisy eclipses the creators, for their tools burn home.

Fossil fuels for abstracts and Deforestation for novels

Sisyphus laughs at their sophomoric efforts,

For humanity blinds us under the guise of protection.

The Great Symphony
by Kirsten Moreton

The river plays forte in the great symphony.

It is rushing rapids harmonizing and singing,

with the whimpering willows cry of agony.

Performing to an audience that is ever unforgiving.

Bear Cubs in the Autumn Lake
by Kirsten Moreton

The water is cold but her fur is warm,

A cozy blanket I nuzzle in with my sister and brother.

As we watch the fireflies begin to swarm,

Safe from danger, on the back of our mother.

The firefly's glow like thousands of stars,
