For the Good Of The Earth

Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #430 - For or Against

"As we know, you can be for something or against something. The stuff of confrontation. We won’t go there. This is a soothing place. The poems we write are either “For” poems (For The Love Of Pete, For Your Own Good…) or “Against” poems (Against All Odds, Against The Clock…). Keep the peace and write your piece, for or against, it’s all good."


Please
wake up.
Look around
you.  Ask questions.
What can I do to save 
oceans, attract butterflies,
protect whales, promote health for all–
people and animals?  Write letters

to all representatives who are
supposed to be representing
you.  Attend demonstrations.
Write poems for all to share
your views.  Feed children,
animals.
Do your
part.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
