a rhymed poem for Earth Day
Declined: An Earth Day Lament

Earth still gives up her gifts, sweet fruits of every kind, and we still test her patience, as if she doesn't mind. But mothers have their limits, as problem children find when their demands, once always met, are one day marked declined. |

Many thanks to Lorraine Purviance for her beautiful artwork depicting a fairy picking fruit in an enchanted forest.
People, sadly, depend on real trees grown with real soil and water in real air. How many more years of our mistreating and wasting these resources will it take before those trees decline our demands they feed us? Happy Earth Day, all :-)
