Happy Earth Day!*

Cherry Blossoms. Tulips.
Flowers are blooming.
The city is so colorful,
Because it is spring.

Tourists are taking pictures,
While inhaling a breath of fresh air.
A little girl is posing and smiling,
Breeze blowing through her tender hair.

Runners, cyclists, rollerbladers,
are exercising on Hudson River Greenway.
Who doesn't want to get in shape?
On this warm April day.

The earth has lived for four and half billion years.
Giant dinosaurs have come and gone.
Now it is the age of flowers.
If you can, enjoy every day and every hour.

* Earth Day is on April 22nd. This poem was written in April 2016.
