I enjoyed the rhyming in this nonet. I don't think I've seen you do a nonet before? (Apart from the other one i just reviewed.) Man's self-centred nature and pride is proving a stumbling block in his relationship with God.

Thanks Jenny for reviewing, much appreciated. No I haven't done any before, so thought I would have a go. Mankind's pride and self-focus is also disastrous for nature as well as himself.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
We humans tend to succumb to greed and feel we are entitled to take from nature when we should be putting back, not taking. A wise and poignant nonet Wendy, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly, much appreciated. Yes, I agree, we should be putting back into nature and learning from it, not destroying it by our greed.
Comment from BeckyMann
I enjoyed the sentiment behind this poem. I think the photo is not a good choice, as it isn't as impactful as the words. This is exactly how I feel about mankind right now. Thank you for sharing your poem.

Comment from Theodore McDowell
This is like a biblical lament, Wendy. It laments the effects of a fallen and sinful world where man pursues his own ends and refuses to bend down to God. Well done!!!!!!!

Thank you Tim. Yes, sometimes I really grieve when I see evidence of mankind's pride and arrogance. By the way, I have changed the photo now, hopefully to a more impactful one.
