A

Above where the sky meets land 

The layer of gas that surrounds us 

Mysterious as ever.

Oceans of air where the birds fly high 

Soothing winds, gentle and clear 

Providing us with the oxygen we breathe 

Helping to make life as we know it possible 

Extreme temperatures are not a worry 

Reaching over 500 km above the surface

Earth's jacket from the harmful ultraviolet solar radiation that is beyond us

B

Bitterly strong winds and snowflakes race as
Lingering cold temperatures become the norm.
Icicles form from rooftop to rooftop 
Zero degrees or below from dust till dawn.
Zipping through the dark of the night 
A winter storm, fierce and strong 
Raging for days on days 
Declaring the whole land a white blanket with low visibility. 

C

Cooling breeze and warming sun
Life's rhythm 
Impacts felt all across the world 
Making long-term weathering patterns
Affecting earth differently under the same sun 
Tracked for at least 30 years 
Easily shown by the temperature and precipitation of the area 

D

Deposited as ice goes away 
Rippling whispers in the Arctic's sway,
Illuminating frost, a glacial buffet.
Frozen journey, in nature's grand relay,
Transient landscapes in an ice drift's ballet

E

Earth reshaped by nature's hand,
Rocks worn down like grains of sand.
Onward flows the river's might,
Sculpting landscapes day and night.
In the dance of wind and rain,
Over time, a change ingrained,
Nature's art, erosion's gain. 

F

Fleeting mist, a ghostly embrace

Obscured, the world in a soft twist,
Gaseous water vapor amidst 

G

Gentle force unseen,
Reaching through space and time 
Attracting all 
Very strong and always here 
In every move, crystal clear 
Ties us to earth 
Yes, I said attracting ALL to the earth 

H

Holding vast lands, north to south 

Equator as the line of separation 

Meridian too 

Identical portions 

Southern and Northern alike 
Portions of the earth, we know as north, south, east, and west 
Horizons stretching wide,
Evenly separated  
Reaching all around the earth 

Earth's imaginary parts  

I

Irresistible force beneath,
Growing heat, a fiery sheath.
New rocks form in molten dance,
Emerging from the Earth's expanse,
Originating, a volcanic trance,
Underground, where fires enhance,
Solidifying, in fiery circumstance.

J

Jovial giant, a gas-filled sphere,
Unique bands of storms appear.
P lanets dance in orbits wide,
I lluminating the cosmic tide.
T itanic, massive, in the night,
E xuding majesty, a celestial sight.
Ringed beauty, a realm of might.

K

Keen energy in lively sway,
In motion, a vibrant display.
Never still, it defies the norms.
Energetic dance, a thrilling sight,
Transitioning with vibrant grace.
Interactions, a kinetic display.
Constant motion it portrays. 

L

Light of fire, a molten flow,

Ascending from the depths below.
Volcanic dance,
A river of heat, in relentless display.

M

Mysterious orb in the night,
Orbiting in celestial light.
Over landscapes, the glow does gleam,
Navigating the nightly dream

N

Nestled in Earth's hidden embrace,
A bode of energy in vast space.
Treasured resource beneath our feet,
Underground reservoirs, a heat.
Release the power, a fiery grace,
An endless source, in its rightful place.
Liberating energy with steady pace.

O

Ocean waves in rhythmic flow,
Cradling secrets deep below
Endless tides, a constant dance,
Aquatic realms in vast expanse
N avigating the abyss with grace.

P

Perfect orbs in cosmic ballet,
Lighting up the vast expanse.
Astronomy's celestial art,
Navigating skies, each a part.
Eternal wonders, a cosmic chart.
Traversing space with an ethereal glow.
