The Clearing

Good to know.

Thanks for the education I didn’t know this!

This hit me like a quiet truth. It reminded me how clearing out a house doesn’t just make space--it stirs up everything you thought you’d packed away. Beautiful and haunting.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "The Clearing" write. I do not like flies. They are dirty. Have a wonderful day/weekend writing away..........

Thanks for your message Hilda. We don't have many flies up in the mountains where I live thank God, but we have ticks, and Bears, and coyotes, and Bob cats, some say A wolf or two and even a Mountain Lion has been spotted from Canada making his way down. Hugs.

Ooh…wow! When we had a good cleaning of our yard, we had a problem.

Dear Hilda, Well written poem on the challenges that come with cutting down trees, iv never noticed this but i hope you can find a solution. Is there a way to get rid of the flies maybe pest control? It must be so hard, its always nice to read your personal experiences woven in the most seamless manner with sublime rhymes! Pleasure visiting your page today. Sending you light always

Nice to see you again. Learning is fun, isn’t it? Have a good week. Panagitota Romios..lol Pangie

We keep clearing away the trees to put up "concrete jungles"

I hate trees being cut down. Well said, short poem.

I too despise pruning trees, as you pointed out. In numerous ways, trees serve as sentinels. Destroying them carelessly is unacceptable. Well done Hilda.

Yep, some nature is irreplaceable -- once gone, extinct!

Your observation is right. I too have seen flies entering the house through the clearing once trees are cut down, especially during certain seasons of the year. Trees stand guard in many ways. They shouldn't be recklessly destroyed.

The poem warns against the careless destruction of trees The consequences we are getting at present are alarming .Very Nice

i learn something precious and quite interesting, enjoyed your poem

Good life advice can be so poetic sometimes. Thanks for sharing, Hilda.

Good one Hilda. They sure do.

I've learned that the world is a sadder place too...

Yours is advice worth remembering, Hilda. Flies are a menace! Very best wishes. :)

Wow! I appreciate this information.

Hello Hilda, that’s not nice I hope they are all gone now. Thank you for sharing, I have learnt something new today. Have a wonderful new week ahead, my friend.

Are these trees in America? Surely, not here in Florida. Your well-written brevity lines gave me a fly freak out. Once, at least 50 flies SUDDENLY appeared in my kitchen, on our forks and plates while eating. We later figured out they had just hatched in the hefty trash bag on the kitchen floor. It was so so so gross. Obviously, I reacted from your poetry lines, felt the visual which is what a poem should do! Stay fly free ... CayCay

- I learn something new by reading your poem...thank you, Hilda :) - hugs

That is so true. What I learned though is not to plant trees near a wall. Roots can enter and ruin the tiles. Loved your poem though.
