Ann Peck Poet Couplet

Beautiful Earth

Reading and enjoying a brisk winter's night,
     when, like birds, my thoughts take sudden flight
over color-washed meadows, lilac hills,
     golden-red forests, a guest to Earth's thrills.
If all could see Earth's beauty from above,
     We would guard her wonder, treasure her love.

Hope human beings realize what nature has bestowed us with, before it's too late. Love and blessings ~ Mala Ann Peck December 31, 2021 at 11:20 AM Thanks, Mala, for your kind comments. Yes, we need to hurry if we want to save Mother Earth. I hope your New Year is filled with love and joy :)

L Milton Hankins December 9, 2021 at 11:54 AM I have always thought so, Ann, but since the astronauts have given us exquisite pictures of our planet from space, I have not seem any appreciable change in most people's attitudes. Good writing! Ann Peck December 9, 2021 at 4:59 PM I was thinking more bird's eye view, but I've read some of the astronauts come back feeling a strong desire to save Earth after seeing her beauty and vulnerability. I hope so! Thanks for your comments, Milton :)

Tom Cunningham December 9, 2021 at 11:18 AM And an amazing sight that would be too Ann. Good luck in the contest. Tom Ann Peck December 9, 2021 at 4:05 PM Thank you, Tom. I hope we do enough to save Earth and ourselves. Thanks for your comments :)
