Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest

On this earth, the sun rises in the east And sets in the west This cosmic phenomenon can’t be missed. On this earth, the oceans are tinged blue From where their water came They have no clue. On this earth, to the sea the rivers flow At the edge of growing delta New land is formed low. On this earth, the winter time is cold Northern wind spreads the mist Dark gloomy sky can’t hold. On this earth, flowers bloom in spring Colors splash on green meadows Butterflies flitter on latticed wings. On this earth, rain forests are vanishing fast To control global warming We need to preserve them, we must. On this earth, life is a unique entity Evolution in geologic eons has caused In the blue planet biodiversity. On this earth, humans are species of distinction Ravaging the pristine nature They will surely face extinction. April 24, 2021 Contest : Just Stating The Obvious Poetry Contest Sponsor : Brother Jacob
