How Do I Write

How do I write about nature? When wildlife fled like a capture, From a toxic plume that came here Damaging water and the soil These are toxins that last for years Spreading anger and many fears What will happen to plants and trees? From here to horizon one sees? Empty skies without a bird flight, Brings darkness like day into night The stirred toxic streams create rainbows Now, unhealthy color that shows This catastrophe is widespread As if this creation has bled I fear what is ahead to see Maintaining courage within me I cherish nature every day All I can do is pray and pray!
