Haiku for a planet blue

Planetary problem

Earth looked to the sun.

She rose with a big question,

“you feeling alright?”

(|)

“No, the humans hurt.”

The sun’s face displayed concern,

“I know they do care.”

(|)

Earth swallowed a nuke,

“Now do you see how I feel?”

“(belch)…it sickens me.”

(|)

The sun was rising…

“Communication is key.”

But earth was speechless.

(|)

The earth scratched his head…

“I do not possess a voice,

they will never hear.”

(|)

The sun smiled on earth;

“I suggest you find your voice.”

“The humans need you.”

(|)

Sun slipped behind…

Earth thought about his problem…

Moon was drifting by…

(|)

“Hey moon, what’s up bro?”

“(yawn) good morning earth!”

Moon was full of sun.

(|)

“Do you know human?”

earth spoke with a concerned voice.

“yes, they have rockets!”

(|)

“(belch) I know that much,

but how do you talk to them?”

“I don’t think you can…”

…

Moon slipped beyond the corner of earth’s eye, as earth gagged on another oil slick…Uh oh-

(ACHOO!)

“This smog is killing me...people...animals...plants...life.”
