Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Personification

Man and Nature

Once Man,

Nature’s forgiveness implored,

For 

Crimes humanity has, against the environment

Committed 
 
 And

Sincerely, his serious concern expressed for the

Peril, the whole planet was in, because of

Man’s doing 


Nature, attentively, listened to every word, Man,

Wished so much to say, 

Then, turning towards him, with great emphasis 

Declared: 

“Worry not about me, my very dear child

For

Ample time to recover I would have, soon after 

Your upcoming disappearance 

Which

For long now, you, so thoughtlessly, have yourself 

arranged!”

Maurice Yvonne April 1, 2015 at 7:14 AM Prophetic and important. Another fav for me to read often!

Cecilia Macfarlane March 10, 2015 at 11:51 AM Perfectly accurate, yet man is sadly blind to his destructive ways. Terrific write Demetrios! Hugs Demetrios Trifiatis March 10, 2015 at 1:31 PM Cecilia, my friend, thank you for your constructive comment and kind visit!

Richard Lamoureux March 10, 2015 at 8:37 AM Ha ha, this is so true. Demetrios Trifiatis March 10, 2015 at 1:30 PM Thank you, Richard! I am certain you think the situation is grave!

David Furlong March 10, 2015 at 4:10 AM Great lines Demetrios...sadly all a real possibility if we do not wake up. Demetrios Trifiatis March 10, 2015 at 5:19 AM How right you are my friend, David! Afraid I am, even if we wake up, to little will be there to do! Thank you so much for your kind visit and comment!

Diane Lefebvre March 9, 2015 at 4:17 PM It does give one a certain amount of solace to know that the earth will still be here after we no longer are . . and that in time it will become rejuvenated and pristine once more. Balanced and well ordered without man here to desecrate. My eldest son and I have often come to the same conclusion that you so aptly have put into poetic context. Very nice! Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 7:10 PM It is obvious that any thinking person is easy to come to the same conclusion as you your son and me! Thank you so much, dear Diane, for your courteous visit and comment!

Jan Allison March 9, 2015 at 10:44 AM Nature provides and man takes takes takes and doesn't seem to care until it is too late - great write Demetrios:-) hugs Jan ss Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 7:08 PM I am afraid that Man has taken more than enough and now the balance has been disturbed and the consequences will be very grave and unfortunately, it is rather extremely difficult Man to reverse the situation, dear Jan! Thank you so much! Hugs

Eve Roper March 9, 2015 at 8:15 AM Some people don't seem to understand the consequences of what they are putting our world through and the out come to themselves. Blessings dear friend Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 8:40 AM Unfortunately, my good friend, Eve, there are so many that do not understand the consequences of their actions upon the planet and on our lives! They care only for the here, now and me! We all will pay the price, innocent or not! Thank you so much for caring!

Connie Marcum Wong March 9, 2015 at 6:56 AM We are the caretakers of this earth blessed by the bounty of Mother nature. If we continue to abuse her we will pay the price. Greed and avarice of man is causing the loss of balance and withoout this eco balance we won't survive. Your poem stresses that man open his eyes to our planet's distress before it is too late. 7 my friend. Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 8:22 AM Yes, dear Connie, we supposed to be the caretakers of this earth but along the way we became her dynast! Thank you so much for your gracious visit and comment not to forget your generosity!

Kp Nunez March 9, 2015 at 4:31 AM Nature is very forgiving, despite all the abuse, still it continues to give, and give and give until it has nothing left. So, the biting sarcasm is apt...haha. 7 salutes, sire. :) Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 6:13 AM Oh, yes, nature is very forgiving till the moment it has to protect itself then it takes the necessary measures, inherited in her system, as to preserve the harmony, our Lord in His wisdom, has intended to! Thank you so much dear, Kim, for your kind comment and visit!

Anne-Lise Andresen March 9, 2015 at 4:02 AM - Nature is a gift to the people, but we do not care for it - nature masterpieces perish - A poem that has power and meaning, (a 7!! ) very well written my friend Demetrios - I wish you a beautiful new week - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 6:16 AM You are so right, dear Anne-Lise, nature was delivered to us a jewel by our creator but we have tarnished this gem with our hubris! Thank you for your wonderful comment and generous grading!

Eileen Manassian March 9, 2015 at 3:05 AM How powerful, my dear sweet poet. Nature cries out against the abuses suffered by man, but man is digging his own grave. So thoughtful and expressively creative. Kalimera!! Elpizo ese kala. Demetrios Trifiatis March 9, 2015 at 6:26 AM So true, my dearest friend, Eileen, nature cries out but Man plays deaf till the moment he will be eliminated by his own deeds of hubris! Thank you for your precious visit and comment! Eimai kala, efxaristo! Filakia!
