Plants On My Windowsill

The plants on my windowsill are dying My cacti looks weak Only my Aloe Vera plant clings to life I must water it regularly or it too will die Plants are our fellow living beings ands should be treated kindly According to the learned scientists Our ancestors date back millions of years by this they mean such beings as Ramapithecus and the like Plants were around then too Our friends the flora of this world will be here as long a man exists "Life lives at the expense of other life"

Hi, Matthew, since you commented on my poem "A Brief Encounter" I wanted to read one of yours. And this one caught my eye. You feel the same way about plants ("Plants are our fellow living beings...") as I did about the caterpillar. I really like your poem. And of all the poems I had of yours to chose from, I chose this one. Amazing!

I water my flowers almost every day, but I forget to do so on occassion. Some delicate plants could not survive without the care of a human hand. People would also not survive if it weren't for the existence of plants!....A very nice write, Matthew! Just to let you know, there is a small typing/spelling error in the word "plants" in the first line.

very nice, matt. Plants are in tune with us, well at least that is why they tell gardeners to sing to their plants!!
