Doctor, don't do too little if you're going down in the mines ??... Brilliant Maureen... How did I miss this one? I'm going to start my own personal Maureen McGreavy revival; read all your poems posted, and comment on the ones I didn't comment on before... Or, comment again, with, hopefully new incite... Hugs

Come to think of it, my first Haiku similarly themed "Aviary". I can talk to the animals, well, more specifically hear them; eaking out a new career doing that. I did write an "If I could talk to the animals" :)

As an environmentalist myself and coming from you who I know to be an environmental researcher Maureen, this is a powerful message. It could be a great Senru...Maria :)

Thank you Maria :) I don't know about researcher, but definitely an observer, with a Poet's broken heart. I tried to cut out a few words to cram it into ku ;) xomo!
