Forest Creatures

They've no doctors to alleviate pain nor nutritionists to stem weight gain No carpenters to build them a domicile or dealers to sell them an automobile Neither bakers to bake them a birthday cake nor ministers to preside over their wakes... Forest creatures, left to their own wiles find organic ways to overcome life’s trials

One catches a glimmer of why folks want to live off-grid. Your cute couplet lines have a spark of truth to them gw. I love the last couplet. laf :)

What I gather from this is the simplicity of nature compared to the over complexity of mankind to resolve task. Thank you for sharing... The animal world and insect world are more advanced than we are sometimes...

Hello, Gershon; your poem beautifully highlights the self-sufficiency and resilience of forest creatures. I like how it shows the simplicity and resourcefulness found in nature, contrasting with the complexities of human life. An insightful reflection on the interconnectedness of all living beings. - Blessings, Daniel
