Notes About The Poem

Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind.

Anemophily

the wind impregnates,
purposed infatuation;
life continues on
with a constant devotion; 
God's earth does not need mankind

Yet everything needs God who created it He is never still, moving in every existence Creating new universes as He want's.'

Nicely done, God created this planet and I believe God crated us for a purpose. The Planet may not need us but we are here.

Nature is self-sustaining. Without outside interference it can look after itself. It does not need mankind and his abusive ways of life. Flo, your poem says all this and more....thought provoking. Regards // paul

That last line is a keeper. The whole poem makes us THINK which is what we should be doing! But are we thinking fast enough? I hope so!

An important question; one to which I believe we already know the unfortunate answer. Thank you very much Caren

I agree that man takes this planet for granted In so many ways that I agree. God's planet doesn't need people. Nicely done.

So true...often we are a detriment to this planet....damming up rivers, clear cutting trees, polluting the land and sea...even space. I see why this wonderful poem is a top winner FJ. Congratulations on your deserving second placement! : )

I don't think he "needs" us, I think he "wants" us and we've taken his love for granted.

FJ Thomas

He put us here to oversee the animals and the vegetation. To be good stewards. I'd say we have failed miserably. Nice write, Flo:)

Yes we have. Good morning Daniel :)
