OK, since today is “Earth Day” and we just practiced
couplets yesterday . . .
Today, let's write a Nature Color Poem ~ It's fun and made up
of a series of couplets (depending on how long you want it - or even just one
couplet if you choose to only do one color).
A
“nature color poem” tells about the color of something in nature using
rhyme.
Here
are the guidelines:
~ It’s made up of
couplets.
~ The first word in each couplet is the color
of something in nature.
~ The two ending words
in each couplet are the words that need to rhyme and both lines should have the
same number of syllables or beats.
I’m really
tired and out of ideas so my example is BEYOND lame, but I can’t wait to see
what you come up with:
Yellow sunshine beckons me,
To come out so I can see.
Blue skies over my head,
I have nothing to dread.
Pink flowers are pretty to smell,
I have a cold, it’s hard to tell.
Green blades of grass seem to call me,
Oh, wait, I've got an allergy.
If you
prefer, another poem that lends itself well to “National Earth Day” would be a
haiku. Traditionally, they are
brief, 17-syllable free verses. The first and third lines contain five
syllables and the second line contains seven. Most Haikus are written about
nature, making it another perfect poetry form for “Earth Day.”
So, Happy
Earth Day and let’s get writing!! Cheers!!

The Glory of Flowers
Purple pansies are so very sweet
They are even sometimes good to eat
Yellow nasturtium are pretty to see
Their color rivals the bumblebee
Poppies that are orange dot the hill
Their color gives me such a thrill
Red hibiscus where I grew up
Make me happy and fill my cup
Blue hydrangea are always breathtaking
Just like a pretty butterfly on the wing
Orchids of green have glory and elegance
Their color will make you want to dance
I glory in the colors that are all around
Our Father has provided for all earthbound
The dang pictures wouldn't cooperate. Mine are on my blog: http://murph4slaw.blogspot.com/2015/04/in-honor-of-earth-day-ill-do-another.html
White melts into crisp green grass and colorful flowers
I've just never seen it in this desert of ours
brown dirt, gray rock, dull cactus green
vibrant is the desert in spring
I haven't been able to come up with anything cheerful today. Sarcasm is the closest we're going to get. Which isn't really that close.
