~ 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 ~

Loved this Regina. Fears of the vanishing landscape as seen through the eyes of the creature that inhabit it.

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.

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.
