Short Replant Poems

If I could
possess
this world
I would 
set it free
bring back
the Dodo
Passenger Pigeon
and replant 
every tree...

He brought a flesh eating plant
That cause his heart to just pant
Others tried to warn
But his heart was torn
He was found in-line for replant...

  A poet's job's
    not to incite a mob
  Or to fan red-hot
    flames ever higher

  Rather, to remove
    those hot coals
   and replant them
    on peaceful atolls

Curved, un-curved.
The lines, my mind.
Recoil, explore,
Your life.
In green,
But the daisies keep on dying.
We do not care,
Of age or gardens,
Of trees or grass.
Pick up your trowel;
Dig hole,
Fill space,
Replant,
Move on...

you take roses, paint them black, then replant them as if they grew that way.
you are the reason we are like this.
our petals fall because you pluck them off us.
if you put us in a dark room, don't blame us for bending over backwards to find light....

Child
follows
parent tryingly.
Step by step learning
everything with new start.
Rejoice and replant. Thoughts
become action and action blooms
~~~discovery~~~
blooms action and action become
thoughts. Replant and rejoice.
Start new with everything.
Learning step by step,
tryingly, parent
follows
child.



P.S. This shape poem is a palindrome....

The Green Fight

The land is green

But unclearly seen

 

The deserts may dare to encroach

Human activities may threaten to reproach

Yet we must fight for nature even beyond the seas

Together we can replant a greener world and build tall trees

 

Wedge the flood and erosion, keep the deserts at bay

For the love of the green life plant a tree today

 

The land could be green

And could be clearly seen

When this earth is hurt and in pain

Is the earth crying but we call it rain

So when the sun is shining warm up in the sky

Why do we continue to hurt this earth and still
Make it cry.

We take away habits and dig a grate big hole

Don't you realise we are killing earth and taking away
It's soul.

So stop this mutilation and ripping out earth's heart

Stop all the pollution and replant tree's
That's a good way to start....
