Pass This Peace To Man

colorful hummingbirds flutter and nibble berries… envious, I watch the gift of freedom Ma Nature gives her creatures… we fight for our rights animal kingdom finds harmony in nature… pass this peace to man For Sidney Lee Ann’s “Haiku from the Heart” Traditional Haiku, 5-7-5 By Carolyn Devonshire This haiku is inspired by the free spirit of animals and how I wish we could enjoy the harmony nature has bestowed upon them

Carolyn, this may be because with so much of our intellectual growth we loose touch with mother nature and once head rules we humans become so greedy.. become hoarders of everything, with very little consideration for fellow human beings. Great message for us humans here!! love to you, gautami

Amen, Carolyn!! Our learning classroom is immediately outside our kitchen windows, right?...I find this so powerful and it inspires me to "just love!" Always a pleasure when you stop over to read my poetry...an honor!...I am currently working (slowly) on a series of Holocaust poems...quite possibly one or two a month...Love, Gwendolen

Yep! This is why I take care of 15 kitties, and God only knows how many birds and squirrels. I can't imagine life without having my animals around. Animals teach us how to love. Super set. Love, daver

Wow this is a beautifully done piece here Carolyn! I really like the way you brought to us of the insight that nature is free and essentially wild to run its own course! And that we need to learn this peace that nature possesses of respect for one another(that works most of the time in nature, there are moments when it doesn't work!) I really enjoyed this poem that I have read this evening! Great Work!! Oh, and those were very kind comments you left me, I care for you! Hope for the best..love me
