Save Me

A very touching poem, more relevant now that that the people and animals that lost everything in the fires and are still recovering from that trauma now have the shared concern with the world with regard to the pandemic ... Hope all is well with you and yours stay safe ...Shirley

So sad QTR. I hope to actually see one someday.

That sums up the disaster ...

They are the softest, sweetest, slow moving creatures you could ever want. I have felt their soft fur and their trauma I feel deeply. Very nice Tanka. xxoo

Very touching and heartfelt! I tear up everytime I see another news story :(

That's such a horrendous situation; those beautiful beings are already listed as "functionally extinct"; well penned sadness.

A great touching poem on the tragic wildfire situation, the poor hapless animals ahh!! You depict it awesomely. Kudos. Let's pray for them, for respite... Pls pleez do review/ comment my newest poem too.

Very heartfelt poem, Richard. It's heartbreaking to see what damage is doing to Australia.

Such sadness with Australia! Loved this!;)

It is so sad what is happening in Australia. All those poor animals without a home. My heart goes out to them and all the people who are suffering because of the fires.

A few words but much said. I would love to hold a koala. It is a sin what is going on with the fires and animals. Enjoy your day writing...............

The Australian fires are truly extreme - your poem is cute, but sad, animals and humans are exposed to fumes and flames as fires roar out of control - poor koalas! Blessings, Jennifer.

I can sure picture this. Sad things for koalas and for the others there right now. Good one.

Such a sad period for Australia and its inhabitants, Richard! This koala and many other creatures have had a lot to put up with. Hopefully the rain will come soon! Regards // paul

I saw the koala's on TV waddling up to people, begging for a drink. It is insanely sad! Well done. Globally aware!

Wildfires cause so much devastation to both people and wildlife. I hope the havoc in Australia ends soon.
