Earth

Earth (sonnetina duo.) sustaining life in our oceans and seas, Lush ripe fruit grown on our beautiful trees, Grasses cereals seeds and soft berries Strawberries raspberries and red cherries, Warmth from the sun, refreshing rain from clouds Secluded places from bustling crowds, Gentle breezes glorious views and sights Wine from sweet grapes and other such delights, Rivers lakes canals ponds and winding streams ploughman's lunches and ice creams, Automobiles ships airplanes and fast trains Machines that help to take all our strains, Our adored pets and our working animals Horses dogs elephants dromedary camels , Mountains hills ravines meadows valleys Cathedrals churches and sanctuaries, Affection love emotion and sadness Our Past present future and hopefulness, All that we hold dear, all life, all our worth We owe to our wonderful rich fertile Earth. 11/30/2016
