Poems About Our Environment
What is the true state of the environment. You have the politicians on the left telling you that there is undeniable evidence of global warming. Thousands of species become extinct every day because we are cutting down the rain forests. All around the earth, environmentalists are pointing out devastation. On the other hand those on the right would have us believe that the earth is perfectly fine. They say that all of the changes that the earth is going through are perfectly OK and that we have nothing to worry about. Who is right?

1. Mother Earth
Plea To Save The EarthThe land is in a constant state of birth,
Giving life to all who live on Earth.
Our carelessness and fears
Have taken a toll over the years.
Her land is parched and scorched
As man continues to light the torch.
We continue a want of speed and ease,
All while our pesticides kill off our bees.
It's time to wake up and see Mother Earth's pain.
Humanity's selfishness is becoming insane.
Soon her cries will turn to gloom,
And man will cause its own doom.Latest Shared StoryGood write. It's so sad that we don't realize what we have and are doing to our own home.

2. Warned
Poem About Environmental PreservationThe sands of time have rendered fear
Blue skies on high no longer clear
Stars were bright whence they came
Now dimmed, obscured, pollution's haze
Crystal clear our waters gleamed
Fish abundant, rivers streamed
Ocean floors sandy white
Now littered, brown, pollution's plight
Trees towered high above
Trunks baring professed love
Birds chirping from sites unseen
Gone, paper joined pollution's team
One can't blame pollution alone
As they say, you reap what you've sown
So let us plant a better seed
Tear out old roots, cultivate, weed
Protect what has been given for free
Our waters, skies, wildlife and trees
For once they're gone, don't you say
Consider yourself warned of that fatal dayLatest Shared StoryEnvironmental pollution is a global issue, and hence it has entered into world of poetry. Poets have unique ability to express to communicate with their audience more effectively than anyone...

3. Let's Preserve Our Nature
Stopping PollutionThe sun is shining,
The sky is blue,
The birds are flying,
And the breeze is so cool.
Mother Nature is trying her best
To give nothing but beautifulness,
But what do we do?
Make her a mess.
Let's make her the best
By polluting less and less,
And preserve her green dress
For our kids and the rest. -
4. Awareness About Our Environment
Poem About Destruction Of EarthBroken bottles and charred pieces of glass,
Wadded up newspapers tossed on the grass,
Pouring of concrete and tearing out trees.
This is the environment that surrounds me?
Poisons and insecticides sprayed on our food,
Oceans filling with thick oil crude.
All sea life destined to a slow, awful doom.
These are the things we are to consume?
Mills pumping out iron, expelling yellow fumes,
Airlines emitting caustic gases from fuels,
Weapons of destruction tested at desolate sites.
And this is the air that's to sustain life?
There has to be something that someone can do,
Like raise the awareness to those around you
That if we don't heed the problem at hand
It's your life that's at stake, the destruction of man.Latest Shared StoryGood message. And to think there are some who are planning to inhabit other planets. Haven't we done enough damage to this one?

5. Our Mother Earth
Poem About Our Treating Earth PoorlyThis Mother Earth,
Who gives us life;
This Mother Earth,
Heart filled with strife,
We love her not,
Though love we should;
Her death we plot,
For life's "own good;"
She gave us air, and food, and home.
That's not enough we humans scream;
With greedy lust, our mouths do foam,
With evil hopes, our eyes do gleam;
Her air we fill
With smoke and death;
Ourselves we kill,
For lack of breath;
The sea once clean,
Now choked with waste;
To drink, we fear,
Will death make haste;
The soil once pure
And full of life,
Now barren sand
Of farmers' strife;
No longer she
Can stand our "love;"
Now we must flee
Like scattered dove;
She gave us all,
Unto the end;
Now we appalled,
Our lives defend.Latest Shared StoryThis is really a very heart touching poem. After reading this poem we realize that what the Mother Earth has given us is the best and we should preserve it full-heartedly. This poem gives a...

6. The Way Through The Woods
THEY shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a path through the woods
Before they planted the trees:
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.
Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ring’d pools
Where the otter whistles his mate
(They fear not men in the woods
Because they see so few),
You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods ...
But there is no road through the woods.Latest Shared StoryI am a born nature lover. I have always been inspired by its grace and beauty. Currently I'm trying to make my own poem diary containing all my favourite poems, most of which are based on...

7. Fragile World
An Uncertain FutureMoving together, we pass through time,
Step by step, no reason nor rhyme.
Pondering on our existence here,
For nothing is certain, nothing is clear.
There are cracks in our foundations, cracks in our base,
This eroding, fragile world in which we are placed.
Immeasurable repairs are needed to restore
Our amazing earth that we should adore.
I feel we are breaking in every which way,
Moral fibres stretched thin and beginning to fray.
We have the gift of a life, a planet too,
Treasured by many but sadly too few. -
8. Mother Nature
Our world is always changing,
Constantly rearranging.
From ocean depths to mountain peaks,
Mother Nature moves and speaks.
While telling stories of our past,
She tries to teach us how to last.
Mankind, so smart, sometimes blind,
Leaves common sense far behind.
We're moving fast and living large,
Forgetting Mother Nature's in charge.
Amazed when she rings our bell,
Sending us through living hell.
She can twist our steel, shake any city.
If her wrath you feel, we shall pity.
Yet some who speak on her behalf,
I fear just seek the golden calf.
It's true, we must treat her right.
Or we will incur a deadly plight.
Treat her with distinction
Or surely face extinction!
Latest Shared StoryA stern warning by the poet that we all need to respond to and act accordingly.

9. Mother Earth
Treat Mother Earth With RespectThis is a wonderful world, and it's true.
It's for us, the trees, and animals, too.
Mother Earth provides us with what we need,
But she can't fulfill humans' constant greed.
Her resources are limited, and she is running out.
Listen to her warnings, cries, and ongoing shouts.
We have polluted her land, water, and air.
This shows Mother Earth how little we care.
We have ignored her for a long enough time.
How we treat her is nothing less than a crime.
May we learn from the mistakes as fast as we can,
Because can't you see destruction has already begun? -
10. Solutions For Pollution
Ways To Reduce PollutionIs it too much to ask for a pollution free world?
The condition of the environment leaves us appalled.
Can we call this progress if life comes to a halt?
We are responsible for pollution; it is our fault.
Oceans are poisoned by spilling of oil,
Pesticides are contaminating Earth's soil.
It's a pity not to see a clear blue sky
As air pollution is alarmingly high,
Global temperature is rising, glaciers are melting down.
Inaction by us will let cities drown.
It is not that we don't have any solution
To tackle and control this ongoing pollution -
Reduce plastic use, stop deforestation,
Plant trees for clean air and soil restoration,
Factories should stop draining waste to the sea,
Then marine life will improve naturally,
Composting can make the soil fertile
And we should not let debris pile,
And by the process of recycling and reuse,
We can stop our Earth's further abuse. -
11. Mother Earth
Poem About Humans Destroying EarthOur Earth is beautiful as viewed from the sky.
But wait! Is Mother about to cry?
This blue planet shakes and trembles and sheds its tears
As it feels the wars and the pain of its tenants' fears.
It's the human ones causing the destruction.
Of all that Mother put into production,
Millions of eons shifting lands to and fro,
Forming mountains and valleys and waters that flow,
Habitats grown to nurture all her children
Are destroyed by the greed of human evolution.
Has the Mother taken all that she can?
Is she objecting to the iniquities of man?
How many cuts and incisions can she take?
As species land and forests disappear in man's wake,
She gives her warnings as the elements explode,
Showing how vulnerable humans are in their humble abodes.
Catastrophes are spreading across the globe.
How much worse will they become? No one knows.
The Mother is angry, and she has just begun
To vent her fury as she converses with her sun,
So beware, human ones, and heed Mother's actions.
Let not complacency and avarice become your distractions.
Has the Mother not provided all that you need?
Yet you repay her with ignorance and contempt as you feed,
So open your eyes, human ones, and respect Mother's love,
For this is Mother Earth given to us from above.

12. A Wonderful Yesterday
A Call To Care For The EarthMother Earth, she weeps, but her tears are all in vain.
Men who seek profit and power will never feel guilt or shame.
What is happening to our world? Wake up and see what we have done.
The pollution that fills our air is now blocking out the sun.
We carelessly chop down our trees at such an alarming rate.
Nothing left to purify our air; is our existence left to fate?
Who will pollinate our plants when we kill off all the bees?
What will be left of our oceans when we contaminate all our seas?
Majestic animals that share our world, men track them down to kill,
Not for any particular purpose, they hunt them for the thrill.
Beautiful beasts that once roamed our lands free,
Reduced to decomposing carcasses hunted for a fee.
Our marine life is being poisoned by all our toxic waste.
Plastics dumped in mass for all our fish to taste.
Mountains of our garbage, in our oceans we do store,
Then watch in silence as the blood-drenched waves break angrily on the shore,
And with it, all the decaying corpses from once an abundant sea of the living,
A sea that kept us fed, a sea that kept on giving.
Without all these things, we cannot survive.
Each link has a purpose in the circle of life, and they keep us alive.
Our planet is our mother; we live in her womb.
She provides for all life; let's not make her our tomb. -
13. Nature's Law
Poem About The Earth's FutureThe waves are rolling toward the shore.
A silent world - an empty core.
Lifeless land with nothing more.
The waves are crashing on the shore.
The fabled beast - a mighty roar,
Extinction men choose to ignore,
And the waves are breaking at the shore.
A new beginning, our fathers - fore,
Human nature set to explore.
The waves are lapping at the shore.
Seven seas sailed, in the skies we soar.
Kingdoms conquered, blood they pour.
Crimson waves rest on the shore.
A fractured earth, relations sore.
A greed that breaks our natural core,
And the waves are turning on the shore.
Gluttonous rage,
We lust for more,
And the waves are monsters on the shore.
The tides are turning.
The land is raw.
Time to face our nature's law.
And the waves are rolling toward the shore,
And the waves are rolling toward the shore,
And the waves are rolling toward the shore...
Forever more.Latest Shared StoryThis is a poem that opens our eyes to the negative impact of pollution. A reminder to the world to preserve the Earth's natural endowment.

14. Look Outside
Poem On PollutionLook outside, see the trees.
Watch the flowers in the breeze.
Things won't be like this in a year or two
If polluting is all we do.
Seize the night,
Seize the day.
Things won't always be this way.
Thousands of people are dying.
In the night, you hear children crying.
Let's stop the war.
Our people are sore.
The world can't help itself.
Who cares about your wealth?
Help me to help you.
Show the world what you can do.Latest Shared StoryI'm a college student who found your poem almost 10 years later. I am using it for my literacy analysis paper for an Intro to Literature class! If you ever come back here, just know your poem...

15. The Breeze
Story Of The WindThe breeze that brushed across the grass
Sang a song of days long passed
Of mighty mountains and caves of gold
Of hidden secrets and tales of old
The gust that danced between the leaves
Accompanied the song of the twirling breeze
A louder chorus of distant lands
Of ancient ice and desert sands
The wind that wound through the trees
Whispered softly of far off seas
It sang its song and bade me follow
Down past glens and through the hollow
The gale that beat against the glass
Had howled its way from the mountain pass
A frustrated cry of forgotten days
When Earth was cared for through many ways
The hurricane that raged upon the land
Roared in anger and made its stand
It howled a tirade of venomous words
Fighting forever just to be heard
The breeze that stumbled across the grass
Sighed a song of days long passed
An exhausted echo of what used to be
Of what the human race no longer seesLatest Shared StoryEbony,

16. The Brink
Healing Properties Of A Clean EnvironmentTake a walk inside a park or
Jaunt a forgotten trail.
Close your eyes and listen.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
For nature's call invites you.
It's peaceful and serene.
It heals the body deep within
Naturally, not by artificial means.
Aromatherapy businesses
Would all be obsolete.
Your pharmaceutical agencies
Would drop significantly.
Hospitals could concentrate on
Healing the terminally ill
Instead of fighting illnesses
Brought on by pollution's will.
Saving the environment
Is bigger than you think.
It not only affects society;
It pulls health from the brink.Latest Shared StoryThis is a wonderful poem. I had to read the other ones you've written, Ms. Sylvia, and they are all beautiful. I, too, enjoy walking in the woods and also really share your concern about the...

17. Staring Through The Window
Restoring The Beauty Of Creation For Our ChildrenMy child, sit by my side,
have a look outside.
What do you see?
The sun and the sands,
the winds and the waves,
the grass and the trees;
They are our responsibility,
yet we have lost the ability
to maintain the beauty bestowed before us.
This magnificent land is ours,
yet we fail to find the hour
to stop and realize the condition we have left it in.
My child, sit by my side,
have a look outside.
What can you say?
I can only pray
that there be a day
where you can gaze upon the bluest of skies just as I once did;
Where you can experience vitality
from this grim reality
that we have turned our land into;
Where the scent of the meadows
suppress the sorrows
that we've sown on our own soil.
My child, sit by my side,
have a look outside.
What must we do?
Restoration is due;
return earth to its true
colors and vibrance and beauty and grace.
Evoke the natural ways,
bring back the breathable days
when the air was pure and fresh and crisp and clear.
It's time to embrace
positive change,
to shatter the pattern
and break the cyclical destruction
of a home undeniably, unquestionably, irreplaceable.
And I know that we are able
to achieve the sustainable
and throw away the days where disposables were our disabilities.
There is no anonymity.
With one collective identity,
we are all accountable
to this sizeable responsibility
So my child, I tell you,
let the rivers flow,
let the flowers grow,
let the people know,
that the earth needs its glow.
It's an awakening
my child, are you listening?
Beyond that window
is a tomorrow full of opportunity,
and today, we must march in unity
because that is what it takes to rebuild this land.
It's at the palm of our hands
and it's time to take the ultimate stand
for a creation so magnificent.
This world is at war, yet again, the victims are the innocent;
There is no moment to be indifferent.
This land needs to heal, we need not be the impediment
And one thing is evident:
My child, we need our future
But it needs us to be present. -
18. Countryside To City
Poem About Missing NatureAs I look to the sky, I can clearly see
The glorious sun beaming down on me.
The clouds go from thick to a whispy thin.
To miss such a view is a terrible sin.
As I look around this spectacular place,
I feel a smile take over my face.
The fields of lush green grass are dotted
With beautiful wild flowers the bees have spotted,
Busily flying from flower to flower,
Pollinating before a shower.
The distinctive red of a poppy field
To a tarmac strip they have to yield.
The man-made pathway cuts through nature's canvas,
Taking us to far flung places around us
To a built up concrete industrial machine
Where places like this are rarely seen,
So whenever you visit the countryside,
Take a few moments to put aside
So you will remember what you have seen
Before you return to the not so green.Latest Shared StoryRoses are red violets are blue; I love nature, so do you.
When I wake I see the sky shinning like you.
We love the colorful bird, to see them flying high.
The water sparkles like a... -
19. The Changing Earth
Poem About Climate ChangeEarth is a beautiful place,
a place we live every day.
We should have the grace
to make sure it doesn't go away.
Climate change is a problem we face,
and it's something we should not forget.
Our world is changing in a fast pace,
and a solution to this we have to get.
Endangered species are becoming extinct.
Temperatures are rising every day.
Rivers are becoming desert valleys,
but this shouldn't lead us into dismay.
The ice caps are melting down,
causing sea levels to get higher.
Precipitation patterns are changing,
and it's making the deserts drier.
God gave us this sacred place,
and we cannot take it for granted.
One day we will run out of space,
and the Earth we know will cease to exist. -
20. Nature Speaks
Nature Acrostic PoemNature paints the waters blue and the mountains green,
As the music of swaying trees and roaming beasts reign.
Touching human hearts in breathtakingly amazing scenes.
Under the blue sky, God's unconditional love is evidently seen.
Rivers of teeming fish, lands of abundant fruits and grains,
Engulfed by a pair of Mother Earth's caring hands, our haven.
Storms, quakes, climate change and other ecological villains,
Pilfered and plundered the nature's wealth and magnificence.
Envious hearts and ambitious minds have also brought change,
Afflicting Mother Earth in every technological advancement.
Keep an eye; take heed that something is wrong with our planet,
Start with a promise to care for Mother Earth before it's too late!
