We Forest

We forest, I call all of us to come forth In simpler times I perceived being much more We were the mighty expanse of common worth Greater than the ocean waves that come up shore We forest call to union the great beckon On a united front we combine as one And onlookers would see our stature with awe Making us greater than the crows deathly caw Russell Sivey

Cool title, Russell. The forest is like an ocean of trees and very mighty.

Dear Russell, In times past the forests were larger and your poem reminds me that "We Forest" need to unite and fight for our lives. Even as rainforests diminish, I wonder if the there can be a future for any person or any creature if the forests are destroyed. Magnificently written and it leaves a deep imprint in my heart. Love and blessings to you, dear friend. Carolyn

And this is how it's done. To be brought together as a whole, not a hole. Stand by each other's side, not above. You are a true example of "man" in hu"man"ity.

I like that personification - We forest - it recalls me to Tolkien. Cheers.

Enjoying the deep voice coming from the forest. Therapy at its best, knowing the trees have a congregation stronger than the ocean waves. ----- Russell, Thank you for the comment. Believe me, I noticed you weren't active. I'm glad you got the internet going. It's always nice reading your new poems. xox~ Linda
