Mother Earth

I decided to try and write a poem that didn't rhyme. it only took like 5 minutes so we'll see.....


I scream and cry yet no one hears me.
And even if they could would they care?
Does my pain matter to those who are living?
Or am I not important enough?

I am air and dirt,
Green and yellow grass.
I am here for you,
And am not appreciated.

Why do you cause me pain?
Why do you try to destroy me?
My beauty is not everlasting,
One day I will not be here.

That day, you will all die.
Along with me.
Is that the future you want?
I want to be clean.

Clean me up.
Prove to me that you know more,
more than death and destruction
Don’t destroy my life!
I want to live just as you do!

But how can I when you continue to fill me with trash?
Value the life of me, of you.
Take care of me
Your Mother Earth.

I like it, a good free verse.
Some of it didn't flow too well.

Prove to me that you know more than death and destruction

That might work better in two lines.
The longer sentences can be split to make it work better.
Or, I think that they can, that way is fine too.

I loved it. It has a great message.
I loved "value the life of me".
Great job.

That was really good! I liked it, espically this part:

"Value the life of me, of you.
Take care of me
Your Mother Earth."

I think that it can be true, and I really like the message that you put in your poem, though I have to agree with BO, that some parts, like the one she mentioned don't flow well. But it's still very good! I like it
