This Planet

The beauty of this planet is there for all to see,
From the highest of the mountains
to the deepness of the sea.

Rivers run so freely
Forests stand so tall.
A new wonder with each season
from the winter to the fall.

The vastness of a desert,
An ever changing sky
Truly an amazing sight 
for each and every eye.

The greenest of a meadow
which lies before our feet.
multicoloured flowers
the scent of which is sweet.

The loud roar that comes from water
as it falls from a great height, 
plunging to the rocks below 
It’s clearness turning white.

How I love this planet
so much beauty it does give
In fact the only ugliness 
Is where the humans live!

Well done Linda a beautifully written verse of concern and hope for our planet. You have described it with thought and your poem flows with superlatives. Well done.
