Happy Earth Day ~ 2013

Happy Earth Day everyone! Will you be celebrating today? Today, I thought that instead of posting a whole list host of activities to do on Earth Day I would post something a little simpler. A lovely poem from the book "The Earth is Painted Green - A Garden of Poems About Our Planet" Edited by Barbara Brenner.

Choose a Colour ~ by Jacqueline Sweeney

If I were brown I'd be cattail

or turtle deep burrowed

in mud.

If I were orange

I'd be a newt's belly

If yellow a willow

in Fall

If pink I'd be a flamingo

or salmon

leaping upstream.

If I were blue

I'd be glacier.

If purple a larkspur

in Spring.

If I were silver

I'm sure I'd be river

moonshattered

in liquid surprise.

If I were green

I'd be rainforest,

If  green I would help

the world

breathe.

Happy Earth Day.
