Saving the Environment is saving the Earth 

Saving the environment, saving the nature
We can ensure our future life style better 
Environment is we grow up having all where 
Whose position is nowhere but in this nature; 

A plant grows up, produces flowers, fruits, oxygen 
Flowers, fruits, oxygen are for beauty, food, life 
A being grows up, produces offspring, rear them 
Beings need those to live, plants need beings in help; 

These both are major agents in environment 
For them all other elements are circling 
Coming out of womb or shell of egg the urgent 
Are environment, nature for first, last living.

Alexandrine - Poem by Wandera Alexander

Alexandrine, a wisely poem form 
Twelve diphthongs in each of twelve lines
Major stresses are given on the sixth diphthong 
And on the last one 
And one secondary accent in each of half line, 
Some alternatives are found 
In case of no stresses on the last diphthong 
Then thirteen diphthongs need in that line
Line is often called an alexandrine; 
Originally, in French prosody, there is a twelve diphthong meter 
And in English, here is iambic hexameter; 
The rhyme scheme is a a b b (heroic alexandrine) 
Or, a b a b (elegiac alexandrine) 
With obligatory alternation of masculine and feminine rhymes; 

In Russian poetry, iambic hexameter with a caesura 
After the third foot 
And with rhyme scheme of a a b b 
And alternation of masculine and feminine rhymes; 
In French, rhyming couplets of two alexandrines 
Are of equal length, usually containing four accents, 
Having been the classic poetic form 
Since the time of Ronsard; 

The form named, Alexandrine
Might drive from the fact that 
Some Environmental blogs poem of 20th Century about Alexander the Great 
Were written in this meter.

The Stream Where i Played From

Watching the smoke stacks choking the sky always makes me want to cry. I just can't help but wonder why The factories won't even try to find a safer, better way to put their poisonous waste away. The Stream where i played from Sewer as running as a child  in the ravine seemed so endless and wild. The water was clear and smelled so clean, It was so long ago that it seems like a dream. Now this stream is too dirty for my child. The water is scummy and smells vile. The place where I played seems so foul and decayed, And I shed the first tear as the dream starts to fade. Glimpse of a Polluted future where are the birds that used to dot the sky?, they are not here anymore, and I have to wonder why?. Where are the fish that used to swim in this stream?, I can't see them anymore. What does that mean? Where are the frogs that used to croak around this lake? I can't hear them anymore. There must be some mistake. I wish there was a clock whose hands I could rewind. We m
