Hello there, I love this 5-7-5 tree hugger entry, my friend. I love how the trees are Earths lungs. That's fantastic. Well done, with great notes and photos. ~Kerry

This tree-hugger 5-7-5, Forest Cries, has the right set up and reminds the readers that the trees filter carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Get a clue.

Thanks Bill for the positive review. I hope you liked my collage ..it took me several hours to get the 4 pics to look decent .

Humans have some fine qualities it's sad that good part of humanity puts them aside for those negative ones.

Seeing the sloth , the koala and orango without their homes was very upsetting.

I love this verse about trees being lungs for us. This is a beautiful and meaningful verse. Well done on crafting this excellent poem for the 5-7-5 Tree Hugger prompt. Well done.

In Italian it's a common saying ..I thought it would be a great first line for my 5-7-5. I'm glad it made an impression on you.
Thanks for the lovely review!

Ciao sugarray !

I don't have children but looking at that poor sloth make his way on the ground upset me . No human being in their right mind would want something like that for their own children...So it is time mankind woke up and understood that we are poisoning our planet.

Glad you appreciated my different point of view...as soon as I read the contest I thought of it.

Thank you for your generous vote!

I love the illustrations. You have spelled "trees" wrong and you have an extra syllable in the first line. I would make the text bigger and perhaps bold it. I always appreciate informative author's notes. Thank you for sharing this poem. Good luck with your contest entry!

Thank you .I fixed the typo , I don't see the extra syllable in the first line , though.

I 'm glad you like the illustration .. It was 4 different pics and I made a collage .. It took me more time to do that than write the poem ( biggrin).

I 'm glad you took time to read the note section.. The data is grim.

I agree the text would look better in bold but my computer expertises are limited ...the advanced edit is merciless .

Thank you so much for your help and 5 star vote!

Ciao !
