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

For me itโs sad to see a tree being chopped down to a stump and then poisoned so it wonโt grow again โฆ and thus my analogy, wars are poisonous ๐คโฎ๏ธ๐

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. ๐ฆ In war, so many things (physically, emotionally, etc.) are lost forever. ๐ฆ

Thank you for your supportive comments, Carolyn โฆ and yes, my message is to be more respectful of Mother Nature, she needs our help, not our hostile warring ways โฎ๏ธ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฒ

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.
