I’ve been soliciting the sage advise and wise words of the BARD recently…
I got my new best buddy Bard (AI from Google)
to help with two blogs: World
Water Day 2023: Accelerating Change on March 22 and Earth
Day 2023: Invest in our Planet on April 22.
But, William Shakespeare would be 459 years olde today (~23 April 1564 — 23 April 1616), so I wondered what “The Bard” would have to say? On the comings and goings of Earth Day? The question asked:
What would Shakespeare say about Earth Day?
Shakespeare was
a man of the natural world. He wrote about it often in his plays and poems, and
he seemed to have a deep appreciation for its beauty and power. I think he
would be proud of the way we have come together to celebrate Earth Day, and he
would encourage us to continue to do everything we can to protect our planet.
Here is a poem
I wrote that imagines what Shakespeare might say about Earth Day:
O Earth, thou
art our mother,
And we are thy
children.
We are grateful
for thy bounty,
And we vow to
protect thee.
We will not
pollute thy waters,
Nor foul thy
air.
We will not cut
down thy forests,
Nor kill thy
animals.
We will live in
harmony with thee,
And we will
work to make thee a better place for all.
For thou art
our home,
And we are thy
caretakers.
We will not
fail thee.
