Anil Deo Poet Didactic

Greeting In Wonder

I
Trees do not eat their own fruit
Seeds are sown far from trunk, root
Without feet, trees & flowers serve
We, humans, cut but won't conserve

II
Clouds do not consume their water
Universe gives them wings better
Than legs & feet. Who created these?
Why? Ask trees,  clouds why give

Michelle Faulkner May 16, 2022 at 3:08 PM There are many lessons we can learn from trees and clouds, giving is one of them~

Anil Deo May 13, 2022 at 1:12 AM ThanX Valsa, Joe, Andrea, Harry H., Victor, and PS, your visits & comments are greatly appreciated. Shalom, shalom ( good art doesn't always pay the bills, so we can try to iprove, otherwise we'd be 'bought'.)

Valsa George May 12, 2022 at 9:55 PM Very inspiring thoughts, Anil ! Giving is more more important than receiving. Your example of tree and cloud are very apt here....

Joseph P. DiMino May 12, 2022 at 7:52 PM Maybe for us to simply enjoy, for asking questions...and learning respect? Which we have yet to do. Let is pray. Well said.

Andrea Dietrich May 12, 2022 at 4:25 PM wonderful reflections. I love these.

Harry Horsman May 12, 2022 at 1:53 AM Ah, Anil, as i think of reading this little gem, 'it is far greater to give' and nature does just that, its beauty, colour and fragrance, most of all food. Nothing surpasses poetry that creates thought for the mind and soul, and yours constantly does. Anil Deo May 12, 2022 at 2:35 AM Glad to have your presence here, Sir Harry. I never TIRE hearing your hopes & respect for Power In Poetry (& mother nature)

Victor Buhagiar May 12, 2022 at 12:50 AM The universe is full of surprises. Anil Deo May 12, 2022 at 2:32 AM Amen Victor. Hope u are enjoying your day/ week. ThanX for reading (shalom shalom)
