"Drink me in.
I smell like a newly mowed
alfalfa field
on a summer's eve.
And if you patiently stand
quietly still
you will see the strobe
of fireflies
with nothing better to do
than flash their lights
looking for a mate
on a warm summer's eve."
Today is International Ocean Day. It's a day to think about sustainability and what we can do to be better citizens of our Mother Earth and the oceans. What can you do to make the world a better place? Try writing a poem from the persona of the Earth or the oceans. What do you think they would tell us? Have fun writing.
The earth belongs to everyone.
