A HAPPY 50TH anniversary of EARTH DAY TO ALL
Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day continues to grow as a worldwide phenomenon focused on promoting clean living and a healthy, sustainable habitat for people and wildlife alike. Celebrating Earth Day serves as a conscious reminder of how fragile our planet is and how important it is to protect it.
Beautiful is the first one in its depiction of unfurling but I had to look up the Kiskadee. I see it's a South American native. The second one made me chuckle, and how I miss those hugs mentioned in the third.
ReplyDeleteLovely presentation of Haikus, Gillena.
Much love and Happy Earth Day!
Thanks for your appreciation Khaya

Delightful, all. Oh, just the words 'chummy yummy hugs' conjured them up vividly.

I appreciate the irony of the second poem. Also, I like the "chummy yummy hugs" and miss them.

Sadly humans are pretty stubborn but I agree surely we must learn something from all this. P.S. Thanks for the Kiskadee's message!
