A California Walnut Farm That Emulates Sustainability

Sustainability

Sustainability
Understands what we need,
Supports the greater we,
Tames impatience and greed,
Asks the sun to shine free,
Invites the wind to blow,
Nurtures our trash with glee,
Annexes water's flow,
Believes in harmony,
Impedes daft destruction,
Looks for what should, could be,
Inspires waste reduction,
Tries to think like a seed,
Yearns for Earth to be freed.

This news about a California walnut farm inspired me
to write an acrostic poem about sustainability.

    1. Thank you Martha! I have missed my Blogplicity friends as well and hope to be back in the group soon. I have been inactive in several groups for a while because I've been too busy.
