How are you changing the world?

My first thought is about small things that add together, and truly make a difference. Some of my small poems to share today.

Earth Day

Earth Day was founded on April 22, 1970, by Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin, USA.  You can learn more here.

small flowers
near the kitchen windows
first hummingbird

summer sun
thrift store bowl painted
with leaves and fruit

colder weather
time for my favorite coat
from a thrift store

new space
on a few shelves
donated books

used books
new for me
light on old
and new leaves
of a house plant

soon the garden
will begin in small ways
snowdrops
