Jess Marlo Poet Free verse

If a tree falls in the forest

If a tree falls in the forest, 

And nobody is there to hear it,

Does it even make a sound?


And if I'm screaming out for help, 

And nobody is ever going to listen,  

Did I even have a voice?

Darlene De Beaulieu March 1, 2026 at 10:41 AM Hello Jesss, I have often wondered about the tree falling in the forest, if it is heard. If you were screaming for help , you would have a voice until your voice got horsed. So it would not be heard. Hugs. /Darlene/
