Today's Host at Verse Love is Margaret Simon whose poems about nature have long started my days. She asks us to choose an animal you would like to write about. Find a sample of their sound and write a poem that uses onomatopoeia in a creative way.
It was a dark and dreary morning, but I snuck outside for a bit of springtime and coffee on the porch anyway. I was mesmerized by the questions posed by my Great Horned Owl as if he knew this was Earth Day!
Whoo, whoo?
Is caring for these magnificent old trees I love?
Is watching what landscapers put on the lawns?
Whoo, whoo?
Really needs those massive SUVs and pick-ups to get to work?
Really must water their lawns when it is going to rain?
Whoo, whoo?
Ran left that light on all night long wasting electricity?
Ran their car for 5 minutes before driving off to work?
Whoo, whoo?
Was riding that new electric bike to school yesterday?
Was looking for drought and deer resistant plantings?
Whoo, whoo?
Remembers the potential of wind power to save our planet?
Remembers the value of mass transit, electric vehicles, composting?
Whoo, whoo?
Is thinking about the future of our planet on this Earth Day?
