NaPoWriMo Day 22: Earth

The NaPoWriMo prompt for today  is to write a georgic in honour of Earth Day. Georgic is a poem dealing with practical aspects of agriculture and rural affairs.

I have not written a georgic but on the eve of Earth Day, I have written a Tanka to share my thoughts on the mighty creation of Lord.

I have used the prompt words “Wish” and “Magic” for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge # 30. 

the magic of God

idyllic prolific Earth

conception of man

to revere and preserve it

wish we justified our birth

  1. The last line is perfect — the questioning of us as stewards of this planet. What’s unsaid is, who will judge whether we have done well with our task or not.
