A very touching poem Ivor. What we humans are doing to our planet is beyond words.

For me it’s sad to see a tree being chopped down to a stump and then poisoned so it won’t grow again … and thus my analogy, wars are poisonous 🤗☮️🌏

An important, emotion-evoking trio…photo, poem, song/vid!
That stump, and the message it gives in your poem, is a powerful reminder of how damaging people can be to not only other people, but to nature and the whole world. 😦 In war, so many things (physically, emotionally, etc.) are lost forever. 😦

Thank you for your supportive comments, Carolyn … and yes, my message is to be more respectful of Mother Nature, she needs our help, not our hostile warring ways ☮️😍😊🌏🐶🌲

Excellent poem, Ivor, with a very important message for everyone. Beautifully written! A couple of years ago I wrote some stories about trees having voices and what they say at various stages of their life, through ordinary times, happy ones and during painful ones. I believe any living thing has the capacity to feel sensations, just one reason I talk and sing to my houseplants. We really need to be much nicer to our planet. Look at everything Mother Nature has given us.
