Turtle Island Poems -3

O Waters: O Waters talks about water and its different variations and uses in the environment. This includes places that water is found such as a stream, in the soil, or on a plant. I believe the overall theme in O Water is talking about the purity of water and the necessity to conserve it in nature. Water is essential to all living plants and animals and also to the eco system they live in.

Tomorrow’s Song: This poem is unlike the other ones because it describes the USA in particular. The poems tells how I the twentieth century the US gave up on forest preservation and environmental care and they transitioned to a different state of mind. We are not all concerned with the future but not necessarily what is happening right now.

For the Children: This poem talks about the future and what we must do. It suggests that we need to meet in the middle with nature and not be destructive. The generation now needs to think about the future and conserve for the children.
