An Earth Day Poem

It’s a world that’s unlike any other.
For observers, it’s great fun to ride to the heights,
To experience all kinds of weather!
to cheer when the winds gust with might
If our record speeds start to look hazy,
we’re crowding the Hay’s Chart all night!
and rime ice that feathers the ground
You’d best not rule out a stray snow-shower;
the Rockpile gets them all year round!
there are so many stars you can spy
The Atlantic can shine with orange morning light
Auroras may dance from on high
There’s nowhere quite like it but here
Lovers of weather and wonder, rejoice!
For Earth Day, we let out a cheer!
What about the Earth brings you to smile?
The fields of bright flowers, the birds in the skies,
or the thunder of waves in the isle?
or the gemstones that sparkle and shine,
the plants that we grow and the food that they bring,
or the people with whom you share time.
treat with care all the joys that abound.
We all share Earth’s wonder; we all call it home.
And there’s only one like it around!
