Trees
A Haiku Poem17 total reviews
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is very well done and topical, as well. I love the artwork, especially the evolutionary ascent and descent on either side of the tree, floating in the water. I can see why you won the Haiku contest. You capture the dire recession of greedy mankind. I love how you focus on the trees of life and how they sustain us. Your note at the end of this post is both poignant and addresses an alarming trend as we destroy Nature. All one has to do is look at the fires in the Amazon region to know that we are on the wrong path. Thank you for your talented wording, and for bringing up an important issue involving all of us.
Take care, Jesse

Thank you very much (sorry for the late reply) and it was those fires that drew me to this one as on our news (Aussie) they were saying they might have been deliberately started, as you I do think this is important, I have found out where the nearest Homeless Help is and how to reach them, many thanks ****kahpot

I apologize for my late reply, as well. Yes, I think you and I agree on the importance of world events. I am glad you found a way to help the homeless. We are but one step away, as far as I am concerned. Calamity could happen to any of us which might cause us to become homeless. Thanks for caring.
Jesse

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I don't think that we're going to see an end in sight to this destruction. Man has to have more. We have to build bigger buildings, more store chains and subdivisions. Many people(I like this myself) want to have some countryside outside of the big cities to have some peace and serenity. It seems that all of that is going away because we are going everywhere building in the name of profits. The habitat of the creatures living there and nature are the ones that suffer. I like this and the message conveyed in it. Great job and well done!

I scrolled and this caught my attention. Beautiful and brutally honest all at the same time. You have captured it well all within the close parameters of a haiku. Very nicely done!

Hello Mystery Writer. The picture is very interesting as it represents the rise and collapse of mankind. Your verse adds to the picture as a narrative of the collapse. Robert

I love the artwork you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect math. You captured my attention from the start you words are so sad ,yet true .
The the begin God gave us land to love and enjoy. The He created man that is when everything changed. Even to day man greed is destroying the land.
This is what I call a food for thought poem.
Thank you for sharing

Thank you for your plea to stop destroying Nature. Your haiku and parallel, artwork selection are clarion calls. Your addition of alliteration intensifies the message. Cheers and best wishes in the contest- Joan

Comment from June Sargent
The web of life on earth is fragile and is getting more so everyday. Without trees, man will eventually disappear. Is he aware? Does he care? Ignoring the abusive way we have treated our natural resources will have consequences. Man cannot retreat from reality.
