Dear Friends, Family, and Fans,
Happy Earth Day!!!!
I have no idea how long ago I wrote this poem. I remember one night the rain woke me up and this poem literally popped into my head. I think I shared it once. It was so different from anything I had written, I had no idea where it would fit. Well, now that I’ve found it again, I don’t care if it fits anywhere. I just want to enjoy the fun of it. I think this is the best day to revive it. Earth Day. When we honor nature, “Mother Earth”, “Mother Nature”…we have to take care of her or we are all lost…unlike this poem…never to be found again.
Happy Earth Day and Day 21:Tattle Tale
By Dr.Lindamichellebaron
Sometimes rain falls when the sky unzips
Millions of drops and millions of drips
You know exactly when each one fell
Because they land so loud they tattle tell.
Even before you get out of bed,
You can hear exactly what each one said,
Each drip tells on the other drop
Each drop tells on the other fella
And if someone is listening they all yell,
“Don’t forget your boots and umbrella”
Sometimes a few squeeze from a piece of sky
Like a few little tears, but not quite a cry.
Maybe only a couple of droplets drip,
But you can still hear each one puddle skip.
You know exactly when each one fell
Because they still land loud and they tattle tell
But if you’re not looking, no one will ever know
Exactly when it starts to snow.
They can keep a secret. What a surprise
When you walk out into vanilla skies.
Tattle Tale is one of my favorite poems from my personal treasure trove of poems.Hope you enjoyed Day 21 and my Earth Day post. Would you like me to light a spark at your school, college, house-of-worship, conference or organization? If your answer is yes, please click on this link to book me:
