Our Yard, March 2017

Where Can They Go? So axiomatic, they'll be displaced from forest homes, they harbored many years. Now, over time, their shelters were replaced; their land dug up by building engineers. The deer and fox, wild turkeys, many more inhabited these backwoods, then pristine, along the banks of nearby river shore, enjoying nature's ways, yet hardly seen. But, now they're roaming in our private yards; no longer can enjoy their wild enclave. Their virgin forest bulldozed, ground to shards. No altruistic thoughts the builders gave. Rejecting asseveration - no regards, their mega-mansions built with disregards. Sandra M. Haight ~1st Place~ Premiere Contest: Triple-A Challenge Sponsor: Robert Haigh Required Words To Use: axiomatic altruistic asseveration

Humans can be so destructive! God gave us dominion and care over all things. Too many things not thought out or not cared about! Nicely done! A big congrats, Sandra!

Sandra!!! I'm disappointed...this is a wonderful poem and would have placed well in my contest. I told one of the other entrants that I can remember one of my favorite natural areas being developed near Fargo, ND. I knew that every few Springs, the place flooded and became a series of small islands. But they decided to build. We see the same in other areas prone to flood or fire. The local inhabitants become a nuisance. There should be a value assigned to nature above the going rate.

Before I start your book, " Heartfelt Sonnets" is amazing.. I am glad you were able to publish your book.. I hope it does well. Your poem is wonderful... I love to watch them out of my windows when they come down to feed I just wish they weren't skittish. Good luck in the contest... Hugs Eve ~`*

Oh, Eve, thank you so much for your nice comment about my new book! And, I saw tonight that you left a wonderful 5-star review on Amazon too! That was so nice of you, and thanks again for purchasing it! I appreciate your support. Yes, so many animals visit our yard. Our deer are used to us and don't flee when we pull in our driveway with the car, but of course, we can't get too close. Thanks for the nice comment on my poem. Hugs, Sandra
