Breathtaking ignorance- I really like your satori. Breathtaking as in unbelievable ignorance and breathtaking as in ignorance that is literally robbing us of breath. Good luck in the contest!

So much truth in this fine entry in this Haiku death in nature! This is a worthy entry, the killing and deforestation of trees certainly won't do any good for the pollution around us, perceptive work, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

Comment from AnnaLinda
Poet,
You have constructed a super entry for that writing prompt.
That's an incredible photo that you found to go along with
your poem. I agree with your satori and using "breathe" and
"breathtaking" was good.
Nice job,
Linda

Oh, the folly of man. Removes oxygen givers, now what? I have a problem with the series of the Axemen destroying. I remove trees on my place for growth but care for the others.

Comment from JanPerry
Very clever in art and form. The shape of the trees in lungs is unique and stylish.
We need the trees for oxygen but we need the wood to make things like houses, tools etc.
We can't have it both ways I'm afraid. Although, they do replant the trees to replenish the earth too.

Comment from LIJ Red
To me this means, "Go and cut down all the trees that will not help you breathe."
Is that what you meant? Or was it "Go cut the trees that will help you breathe."
My failure to understand is trivial. Give the judges what they want.

Hello, I thought the haiku is pretty clear, everybody else is getting it. ALL trees and plants produce oxygent. Cutting too many trees is bad if we want oxyget to breath. Thank you for the review.

Trees produces oxygen. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is good imagery. Good luck in your contest.

This is a little poem with a lot of wisdom. Harvesting the rainforests and other helpful tree areas is stupidity. Good play on words with "breathtaking"

Deforestation has seen so many animals losing their habitat-how foolish is man. Excellent message, we need fresh air, not pollution. Good luck in the contest. faye

The image you chose is very powerful and compliments your poem beautifully. I really like your line, "breathtaking ignorance." Although I personally think the trees are more breathtaking than anything achieved by cutting them down, I realize people do it for all sorts of purposes, and many do it to achieve breathtaking views. The way you worded this says it so well!
