The Earth Day Poetry Initiative offers a point in time for anyone of any age to reflect on the value of being a steward of the Earth. The point in time is relevant to the 50 Year Anniversary of Earth Day. It is a journey the author has lived through and her personal approach has included awareness, activism, consciousness reflection and citizen scientific endeavors.
Consider writing poems or prose as a dedication to the Earth and a voice for Gaia. This project has been realized with three SLO community members and hopes to inspire more stewardship for the Earth. Shelter-in-Place has been a revelation and has pinpointed the planet and it's inhabitants' fragility, inter-connectedness. As we realize on April 22nd the virtual Earth Day Live Stream we can focus on our resilience and dedication to working together, all, as stewards for The Earth. Feel free to consider the images. Let them stimulate your curiosity. Allow them to inspire creative thinking and contemplation. Share them with your classroom or family. Here is a short demonstration of writing Japanese haiku and tanka poetry to help inspire you. Then, let yourself contribute to this time capsule - a journal of Earth Day Poetry, writing during a Pandemic and assembled for future generations. |
