Regina Mcintosh Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

Dying Forests

~
forest creatures weep
for all the dead, fallen trees
once giving shelter
~
wolves howl piercingly
crying out for woodland plants
to carpet their home
~
raccoons scamper past
searching out their lost breakfast
amid vanished creeks
~
possum wobble by
seeking their favorite den
where serpents hide out
~
deer scamper along
looking for signs of hunters
with yearnings for night
~

Panagiota Romios September 26, 2019 at 5:23 AM Fantastic Haikus. Panagiota I see plenty of forests here in my state. Yes, and all over the city are trees and animals..,add flowers! I live near a big river. The raccoons here are darling..and opossums. All are fat and healthy. Wild turkeys run downtown.

Eileen Manassian September 26, 2019 at 1:40 AM What a thought provoking write about the plight of God's creatures. It's astounding what man is doing to nature. It's unbelievable how there is so little remorse. One day we will have to answer to Him for what we have done to His creation. Thanks for the visit to my work, dear. Blessings.
