Hello Jellyfish ! How are you doing today? I'm here to review your poem, "Earth's Poem" , as part of iKïyå§ama 's newsfeed challenge, "Note: ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Hel...". Thanks for sharing your work with us and giving us a chance to review.

I love the idea of writing an Earth Day poem from the perspective of the Earth. It's interesting to think about what the Earth might have to say, especially after seeing what so many people on Earth have to say about things like pollution and deforestation. I never thought about it from a different perspective, and I think you did a lovely job with it.

One of my favorite parts of this poem is the way Earth spoke directly to the animals that humans destroy, calling them friends. It made the impact of the last stanza where Earth tells humans that they are not friends even better. The difference between the way she talks to the two shows the difference in the way we treat Earth and all the animals in it. I also thought it was interesting how you were able to take the issues within these animal groups and apply them to the fault of humans.

My favorite stanza was the one about polar bears, especially the last two lines because we all know the polar caps are rapidly melting and the negative outcome that has on Earth:

You do not wear another’s pelt
Nor cause my frozen caps to melt.

The only issue I saw had to do with some of the rhyming, especially in the first two stanzas. I had to play around with the way I said the lines so that the flow would hit just right. Of course, ideally, they could just be read seamlessly, so there might be a little bit of room for improvement with the rhythm of those first two stanzas. Overall though, I thought this was a lovely tribute to Earth. Thanks for sharing with us!
