Our planet’s quite important, it, we celebrate today,
It gives us all we need to live and grow, (just by the way),
Like food and water, air to breathe, and warmth (to name a few),
Everything we need to help us drink or breathe or chew,
I love the earth and I’ll do what I can to help it live,
I will recycle and re-use, give all that I can give!
One reason more I love this place and want to keep it sound?
It is the only planet known where chocolate can be found!
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Next week will come at little cost...
With 'Maps' we will not get you lost!
Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?
We'd love to welcome you!

Oh, so true. Where would we be without chocolate?
ReplyDeleteYou had me at chocolate... and of course, all the other beautiful things on this wonderful orb.
ReplyDeleteAnd bad news - climate change is affecting the growing of chocolate. Oh no.........
ReplyDeleteThat's the best reason. I'm sorry my poem was not so chipper and upbeat today. Next week, i hope it will be better.
