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.
Lovely presentation of Haikus, Gillena.
Much love and Happy Earth Day!
Sometimes we need a repeated refrain just to get back on course.
Each of your haikus is lovely ... my favorite form.
There now, you've featured a couple of my favorite things …. kiskadees and hugs!
These left me sighing (for hugs and pretty birds). The last one is a great glimpse of the times.
These are timely and gorgeous, Gillena!💝
We've had to change up so many things since the pandemic. But fortunately the birds keep singing.

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!
