Lost Myristica swamps

"What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror refection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.” Quote by - Mahatma Gandhi ---------------------------------------------------------- Specially designed knee roots Stilt roots dig deep into soil Abundant swamp water still In evergreen tree forests Dried up streams, levelled up swamps Reveal more frustrated roots Grinning at open clear sky Deep in forest no new roots Red-listed trees and insects Red-listed flowers, reptiles Sit as samples in glass jars Dancing frog stuffed nice on shelf Angelic damsefly sits Still like an aura quartz branch Forgetting which way to fly To live untouched by human

Congratulations on your placement in Constance's contest, Thriveni. Your name (meaning 'where three rivers meet') might account for your empathy towards our environment, resulting in this very insightful poem. I enjoyed your poem.

Your poem hits home thrivani. How we treat the environment certainly does reflect how we treat ourselves. I’ve said it before - possibly in the comments to one of your poems - but we need nature more than nature needs us. It worries me what path mankind is on. Cheers - Gary
