21. Earth

by Debra White



Earth

Our planet, Earth, is suffering;
A dreadful thing to comprehend.
Unworthy, unentitled, we
must change our ways, our errors, mend.

It won't be long 'fore it's too late
to change our fate. Act now. Don't wait.


 



Recognized


We abuse our beautiful planet in so many ways. We need to stop now, and make changes before the damage is irreparable.

A Peppered Pickle (Created by Dolly's Poems) : Pick a subject for the first word which should be one syllable only. Describe your thoughts about the word in four lines using the rhyming format below with internal rhyming. Then the closing couplet should conclude thoughts on the subject. Seven lines, written in iambic tetrameter.
