This poem is inspired by a dream my granddaughter, Cara, had. I hope she likes it.


Poem Artwork

A careless match
Forest ablaze
Smoke hovered
Permeated smell

The stately pines
Needles burnt off
Black branches
Looked like hell

Strange feeling filled
As walking toward
The forest
Where I dwelled

Branches were spears
Sizzling the eyes
Fear warning
Cast it's spell

'Said, "Stay away!"
The friends I knew
Now just an
Empty shell

Saplings beneath
One day will rise
With roots new
Ground to dwell

For squir'ls to play
My love will wait
For I have
Time to sell

IN THE MIDST OF DESTRUCTION, THOUGH SOMETIMES HIDDEN, THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE FOR TOMORROW. I LOVED THIS JANE, I HOPE YOUR GRAND DAUGHTER LIKES IT ALSO AND IS ENCOURAGED BY IT. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Wow! This is so much along the theme of a poem of mine that I wrote a while back entitled, "Afterburn." It is posted here at AD and you may have read it before, I don't know. I sure can relate to this, Jane. Love and best wishes,

Regis

It wasn't a forest fire, but we a tornado pass through our area a few years back. The damage it done was astounding. Once mighty trees were snapped like twigs, and what remained looked a lot like the above picture, minus the burnt look. The most damage occurred at the OARDC, which is very close to where we live. A great reclamation project followed the disaster, and today there is a new forest growing tall again. However there are still reminders of the damage done with trees that still look like they did after the storm.

An ingenuous way of getting your point across. The forest has that way about it, it gives us pause for deeper thoughts, One of your better efforts in my opinion.

Does a forest ever die? I wonder.

I'm with Deborah. A stately tree is life to all who dare to stop, look, and listen. Abusing even one is ungodly. Attacking a forest is an attack on a nation, an affront to the animal, the vegetable, and the mineral kingdoms.
