Fracking Up the Wrong Tree

High pressure injection of fluid into solid rock Our human race a labyrinth of sweet flora root-bound within The oak and sycamore shaking off early morning dew © Harry J Horsman 2018

It's so good to see you writing more poems here, harry, like this one. Luck in the contest. I wonder when it will get judged. What you said was sweet about wanting to be my friend. You ARE my friend and always have been!

In our quest for oil, fracking has become a topic of much debate, Harry. Our "labyrinth" is a highly developed ecosystem that is now endangered by the process. I love the way you describe the oak and sycamore shaking off the morning dew. Much to think about here, Harry. Compelling verse!

A striking and meaningful sijo, Harry. Fracking is harmful...polluting the air and water. Time for action. Regards // paul
