Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Nature's Lesson To Humanity

Sunshine fields, warm smiles of hues as green fade.
Nature whispers to creatures, season change; 
rustling reddish, tan, golden leaves arrayed.
Gnarly old tree deep raw umber shades range.

Highest out stretched bough grasp the fraying rope 
the back and forth sway, two in solitude 
on a woven hemp hammock full of hope. 
No fantasy or strife did here intrude.

Wild beast hide in the bosom of the earth
in fear of human that are blind and won't
listen to their breathtaking beauty's worth
and needs until they banish if they don't!

Grand problems that may threaten the planet,
plants, animals will no longer stand-it.

Mick Talbot December 7, 2017 at 8:33 PM The truth in your poem found, A poet of the same ilk, that's sound. It seems though that words are not enough, We need to get out there and do some stuff. Show folk what their missing, Nature all around them wishing. That we humans would implement the solution, To fix the climate stop pollution! Congratulations to you too Eve, best seasonal wishes, Mick PS: Going to post my poetic reply as a dedication to your good self. :)

Birds that normally winter farther south, can be found here year round. I joke with people that Global Warming keeps increasing my property's value, But in all seriousness, We need to stiop arguing abut terms and statistics and start acting.
