Let's Do This by Virginia Hainsworth
Calls to act now
Languish on deaf ears.
Images
of arboreal destruction,
Melting
ice-kingdoms
And
flooded plains
Tell
us we must do more.
Earth
weeps.
Champions
of the future,
Help
those who come after us
And
show them we care.
Nurture
our precious planet.
Go
in search of new ways.
Even
now, there is time.
Ask
yourself – what can I do, today?
Climb
out of your habits.
Turn
the tide.
Not
on our watch
Or
our children’s,
Will
we let this continue.
An acrostic poem is one in which the
first letter of each line spells out a message.
Very clever ... I might have missed that, although the content of the poem spoke to me about the need to care for our planet for future generations. Thank you Virginia :-)
ReplyDeleteNicely done and well said.
