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! : )

That first line is very powerful FJ.... Deep Tanka, you are right, mankind has destroyed this planet, it is better without us..

Would it still be God's earth? Congratulations FJ...

July 18, 2018 at 11:16 AM

Ahh very good point Sir Charlie! It would always be His Earth. Though it is currently the devil's system. For now ;)

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

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:)

July 16, 2018 at 8:13 AM

Yes we have. Good morning Daniel :)

July 15, 2018 at 9:37 PM

This poem gives meaning to the song, "The answer is blowing in the wind".. Well written Flo..

July 16, 2018 at 8:12 AM

I hadn't heard that song in quite some time; now it's stuck in my head lol. Thank you for visiting Joseph :)

July 15, 2018 at 9:07 PM

True indeed. I like short poems and am amazed how much you pack into it.
