The Sunday Muse -- Time's Big Change

Doom 

The Moon shone brightly, storm was gone 

One small cloud stayed for company 

Both had hope for the universe 

All others fled there were no stars 

The moon the cloud and one lone bird 

Just those three and oodles of wet 

Old Sol was spewing fire brimstone 

Puking like a drunken old man 

The bird ignorant it played dumb 

The Moon was tired and growing dim 

The fluffed cloud was seeking a lamb 

The Sun nearly emptied his gut 

After that it was all lights out 

One cloud to float away, bird dies

NaPoWriMo 2021 Day 22 -- Earth Day

 

[This old Model A Ford Pickup was parked in our church parking lot one Sunday.  Don't know whose it was but I'd like to have one like it.]  

Earth Day

 

What does that mean to you 

Several years ago those words meant 

Get out the old pickup, 

we will pickup trash.

When we got it full 

We'd drive to the dump 

and then go for another load 

and maybe plant a tree

These to show our 

appreciation to 

Mother Nature, 

work to keep her pretty

Nowadays it's still plant a tree 

But there is more 

Like 

write your congressman 

sign your name to a petition 

charge your PayPal 

a hundred bucks 

or less to

the Sierra Bunch, 

get six friends to do 

the same,  

and then go plant the tree 

and get out the old pickup 

truck to pickup trash. 

These to keep our home, 

bodies, and planet 

habitable and 

looking 

nice

 - I am attempting to write at least one poem a day for the National Poem Writing Month.  Today is Day 22 of the 30, you can see my progress here, NaPoWriMo 2021. 

 - Write a poem using a Metonymy and I wanted to write also for the observance of "Earth Day" in my writing today.  Earth Day represents more than just a holiday.  It represents out of the ordinary  action that one doesn't ordinary do for the purpose of making and keeping our Earth the fine place it physically is.

 - Metonymy (/mɛˈtɒnəmi/)^[1] is a figure of speech in which a thing or concept is referred to by the name of something closely associated with that thing or concept.^{[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonymy}

NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 22 - Earth Day Poem

     Sierra Club *

Earth Day 2020 

April twenty-second again
The day, Earth Day 2020 
To me it is recognition 
Beautiful planet where we live 

We plant new trees in its honor  
Fertilize and trim what we've got 
Trees and flowers Nature's resource 
Beautiful planet we must help 

Pick up trash that others have left 
Proclaim to the world our duties 
Food and clothing minerals and rocks 
Beautiful planet sustains us 

We mustn't forget the critters 
They were here way before we came 
Those critters and Indian race 
Beautiful planet room for all  

Earth Day 2020 calls us 
Protect preserve and cultivate 

Appreciation planet good

Monday Note:  !!! HAPPY EARTH DAY !!!

1.  I believe that God has ready for us life on the other side of that darkness. And for the pictured property over by our Post Office (Willis, Texas) as He made us stewards of our earth and all that is in an on our planet.
2.  STEWARDS:We are stewards of God's earth, ruling over that which is not ours. "You [God] made humans ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under our feet: All flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas," Ps 8:6-8. (more of God's plan for us and His earth link)
3.  I am celebrating EARTH DAY over on my FaceBook page.
