Of late, nature moans inside a scraped womb As her lush environ FLOUNDERS breaks out… Played like a trusting NEOPHYTE from woods to rivers She endures the BOMBAST of dirt through man’s crimes: Awaiting kindness …amends remain undone While LECHEROUS deeds persist without guilt, why, why? More wrongs ravage innocent fish and flora Infecting her very marrow, to drain away. Loot, SMOLDER, rip a body ! Time runs out. Mother Earth answers through bloodied jolts… By will of PROVIDENCE, she whips a storm without INHIBITION Halting indifference, her fire scalds air’s layers, A battle citizens might grow DOLOROUS over-- Until her soul is nourished back, till she moans no more. ----------- Eight Word Free Verse Challenge For John Hamilton’s Contest 6/13/2019

So well said Nette. Man has from the beginning tried to improve on what God already made perfect and in so doing he is destroying his own environment. Man can't seem to learn to leave well enough alone. Good job here. Bravo. God Bless, JB

You took these difficult words and shaped them into an important message Mother nature would utter if she could. Are you ill dear Nette? I know you mentioned your doctor told you to rest. If so I hope you will be feeling well again real soon. Hugs, Connie xxoo
