Pollutant
Just Speck of Dust , You Say !
Pollutant in the air
Oh, it’s alright, we don’t care
Lungs enemies as old as days
Lungs illnesses you say
U know what I am trying to say
Tell me something I don’t already know
Ailment of the lungs is no fun
No more luxury life
Time to think of our atmosphere and air quality
Purify our Air
Purify our AIR they demanded
U don’t know what you are talking about
Right hand say, “Yes we do, our bodies are reacting”
In all my years, my body never been affected by the pollutions
Fight for your lungs
You need to breath in clean Air
Oh no, it will cost to clean the Air!
U will regret it
Relearned what’s causing the pollution in the Air
Air is what we need to purify
Insure, laws that protect our atmosphere
Regulate harmful particles polluting our air

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:

Excellent work Mariann... You made a very important point. Caring for our planet should be a priority.
This was extremely powerful! I loved it!
Fabulous acrostic poem!!! Great message!!!💖💖💕
A very important message - and I love it in acrostic style! Nice. 😊
Excellent Acrostic and a topic we should all be taking notice of
This was a great poem Mariann, very moving and compelling! I like that you were about to make an acoustic poem into something more emotional than just a a set of words that go with the topic word. Very clever and inspiring!
Great topic choice. People asking why they have lung cancer if they never smoked. Because it is in the air all around us every day. Purify purify purify i say.
This is a difficult poetry style to master, not to mention something that addresses important issues, but I think you did this masterfully! GREAT piece!
That'll preach.
So thought provoking and detailed! Really made me dig deep! 👏🏼
Good one ❤️📝❗This has a lot of meaning❗
