Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22nd.
Today’s poem is a poem for Earth Day about replacing power
plants with solar panels.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
If each house had a solar panel
Built into its
roof,
Incentivized so
profitably
That few would stay
aloof,
Each would be, just
like a leaf,
A mini power plant,
Of which there
would be forests that
Would furnaces
supplant.
The Earth would
breathe again, and keep
Its streams and
rivers wild,
Its oceans free of
thick, black gook,
Its deserts undefiled.
Oh, yes, there
would be power plants,
But few and far
between,
As urban forests
sprouted leaves
That turned the
landscape green.
