Welcome to Earth Day!
Hello to spring,
to tulips and daffodils,
robins a-wing,
to earthworms below us,
to buds on the trees,
to migrating monarchs,
and all kinds of bees.
On Earth Day and every day,
we must take care
of prairies and forests
and all who live there.
From rivers and oceans
to mountains above,
Earth is our planet.
Let’s treat it with love.
I'm giving away a copy of Write a Poem Step by Step every day in April. The book is based on my school visit presentations and includes a simple plan you can follow to create your own poems. I wrote it for students, teachers, and writers of all ages.
Post a comment here to enter. I'll choose one at random tomorrow and drop a copy of Write a Poem Step by Step in the mail—U.S. addresses only, please. I’ll email you for your mailing address if you win. And if you don't win right away, please check back again. I'll have 31 copies to share!
