Blue edges, an ebony sky, and cotton-candy clouds blush pink, for a new day is on the brink. Where eagles were once seen to fly; morning gets filtered through a haze, a legacy of yesteryears. A molten sunrise blinds my eye; dissolving the fringes of night with a dazzling display of light. Dawn's beauty, worthy of a sigh, signals a renewal of hope; implying the planet can cope. A simple truth, without a lie, if we choose not to make a fuss; wildlife will vanish around us. Nature's something money can't buy; no amount can buy back lost days, yet we ignore what science says. Blue edges, an ebony sky, where eagles were once seen to fly. A molten sunrise blinds my eye, its beauty worthy of a sigh. A simple truth, without a lie, Nature's something money can't buy.

Dear Emile, I feel so honored you have written your wonderful poem in my Constanza form. You did it perfectly! I am so impressed with this poem, not only because it is in Constanza form, but because I also champion the cause of cleaning up our earth before it is too late. Bless you my friend. A fave for sure. Hugs, Connie

Thanks Connie, I believe that your form deserves wider recognition and accolades, for it is one of the most expressive and beautiful forms of poetry that I have come across in my years of writing poetry. It was my privilege to try and do this form justice. Thank you for your wonderful review of my poem, I feel honored. Emile.
