Spring : Disappearing

"Beauty of spring I read, when I look out only buildings and shop I see"" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spring, is a season of beginning and birth New born leaves, flowers, fruits and green surroundings Warm sun, cool breeze, a season of joy and mirth Fluttering beauties, chirping resounding Long walks in garden, happiness no dearth Watching birds lay eggs, young ones astounding Festivals, love and joyous celebration Time to stay outdoor, enjoy creation No big trees in town, birds fly in despair No place to lay eggs, nowhere to build nest Many birds extinct, bare surrounds I stare Viewing trees, plants, flowers, fruits, nests my quest They're found only in parks gives me a scare No spring, no joy, no life, I am distressed Let's do something before it goes out of hand Already we have done much damage to land While you enjoy spring in all its glory Think of what coming generation will see They will be only reading it in story Will surely say, "Why you did not foresee? You wrote, why you didn't create a furore? Fresh air was depleting you can't disagree". To avert further damage, let's all join hands Along with writing, work to increase green lands _____________________________________________ 22nd February 2021 NA Written for Spring poetry contest Sponsored by Regina McIntosh Syllable count checked at HMS Rhymes checked at Rhyme Zone
