Earth Day Poems
My students wrote these poems Earth Day Morning, edited and practiced reading yesterday, and we filmed today during a nature walk. During our walk we got to watch an Eastern Ribbon Snake sunbathe then swim in a stream.
dear earth,
thank you for a small triangle of light on the hayfield before the sunset turns mt. kearsarge purple.
thank you for a moon rising huge out of the ocean at plum
thank you for the scent of magnolia at dawn and the sound of peepers at dusk,
the sound in winter of trees swaying in the winter woods,
the scent of freshly cut hay in summer.
thank you for the light shafts coming through the barn sides onto the center floor at the equinox and the noisy birds inside to welcome it.
and too for the oriole returning each spring, the beaches of scotia, the meadows of montana, the hills of missouri and our beautiful woods in nh.
so much gratitude.
