Keep the Marble Blue

March down the main street,
waving the banner high.
Tell everyone you meet,
about what makes you cry.
Speak of those who litter
and throw their trash around,
about how you are bitter
when you see it on the ground.
Plant, together, a sapling tree,
beautifying our Earthly scene.
It is important — we all agree,
to keep the air we breathe clean.
Recycle trash, turn off the lights,
and make our lives better, we all pray.
We need to erase all the blights,
and celebrate this marvelous Earth Day.

Paula Frew
Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
