Look Outside
Look 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.
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?

Broken 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?
Good message. And to think there are some who are planning to inhabit other planets. Haven't we done enough damage to this one?
The sun is shining,
The sky is blue,
The birds are flying,
And the breeze is so cool.
Just wrote an analysis paper of this poem! Thank you so much!
The stars shone in the night sky.
The moon was sitting bright and high.
The sun shone in the morning sky.
The birds were flying really high.

Our world is always changing,
Constantly rearranging.
From ocean depths to mountain peaks,
Mother Nature moves and speaks.
A stern warning by the poet that we all need to respond to and act accordingly.
The 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.
Good write. It's so sad that we don't realize what we have and are doing to our own home.
I enter the earth as a small plant
Tiny and helpless like an infant
Then I grow up and become as active
As a school child
It was beautiful.
It was green and clean.
The smell of fresh air,
The sound of the river flowing,
This poem is just how I feel about climate change. It's beautiful. Thanks.
