Pass This Peace To Man

colorful hummingbirds
flutter and nibble berries…
     envious, I watch

the gift of freedom
Ma Nature gives her creatures…
     we fight for our rights

animal kingdom
finds harmony in nature…
     pass this peace to man
     



For Sidney Lee Ann’s “Haiku from the Heart” 
Traditional Haiku, 5-7-5
By Carolyn Devonshire
This haiku is inspired by the free spirit of animals and how I wish we could enjoy the harmony nature has bestowed upon them

Gautami Phookan Date: 3/24/2012 2:48:00 PM Carolyn, this may be because with so much of our intellectual growth we loose touch with mother nature and once head rules we humans become so greedy.. become hoarders of everything, with very little consideration for fellow human beings. Great message for us humans here!! love to you, gautami Login to Reply

Russell Sivey Date: 3/23/2012 8:43:00 PM Wow this is a beautifully done piece here Carolyn! I really like the way you brought to us of the insight that nature is free and essentially wild to run its own course! And that we need to learn this peace that nature possesses of respect for one another(that works most of the time in nature, there are moments when it doesn't work!) I really enjoyed this poem that I have read this evening! Great Work!! Oh, and those were very kind comments you left me, I care for you! Hope for the best..love me Login to Reply

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 3/23/2012 8:08:00 PM I love your haiku trio, Carolyn, and the message of the words! Thanks for your comments on my "Night Without Stars" haiku. It's easy to post the pictures but I am unable to give you the script to do it in a comment or soupmail. I have tried to do it for others. If you go to Cyndi MacMillan's blog entitled "For Gail" from yesterday, you can see the instructions. Can't wait to see more pics with the poems. I think the visual adds to the poem. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless, Rhonda Login to Reply
