Trees Weep

Big beautiful trees near my brother’s
house
Me and Frankie at the tree top lookout near my brother’s home

Today’s poem was inspired by Dwight’s thought provoking post this morning >> https://rothpoetry.wordpress.com/2023/10/07/embedded-pain

Trees Weep

.

Barbwire scrapes and creeps

Their wounds run deep

Trees stand there and weep

Humans turn a blind eye and sleep

Upon their own rusty scrapheap

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  8. That’s what’s bad about people, we think we are, in charge of, everything in, nature, and we start abusing Mother Nature’s, resources, not realizing, that, she’d been kind, allowing us to, act like, spoiled, brats and take from her, endlessly, and now, she’s begun, to, get, angered, and we, human beings, still, have NO, clue, of how we had, or, what we’d done, to, ruin the, environment we live, in.

  10. Beautiful tree photos! Beautiful Sir Frankie and Ivor photos! 🙂
    Powerful heart-touching poem and Mr. Cave song! Both brought tears to my eyes. I’ve cried over the mistreatment and destruction of trees. 😦
    I hope your brother had a hap, hap, HAPPY birthday! 🙂
