Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

INTERNATIONAL EARTH DAY 22ND APRIL 2019

If We Work Together We Can Make a Difference

International Earth day prompts us not to forget
that the world we inhabit is under great threat
Blue oceans are being choked by plastic pollution
reduce, reuse and recycle is the simple solution

The balance of nature has been upset by man
species close to extinction, poachers strike if they can
If we don’t act quickly these rare breeds we’ll lose
their only protection is in nature reserves or zoos

Felling the rain forest is an issue we must combat
deforestation is destroying animal’s natural habitat
The effects of global warming on earth is far reaching
reducing fossil fuels is what we should be preaching


Educating both young and old is the key to success
we must act together to try to sort out earth’s mess
