Earth community poem

In "Religion and Ecology" today we spent a little time contributing to an Earth Day online project called Earth Stanzas. Eight poems are offered as models for contributions; participants are invited to chose one as a

sort of template. What you come up with is then immediately published on their website - minus the poetic spacing you might have taken from your model (as in my Thomas Berry-ish poem). All these are ours!

And here are 6 more, added after our class ended! Now it's your turn!
