Nature is juiceless
Sown in her generic dirt
Harvesting for thirst

"nature is juiceless" due to our abuse and negligent behavior ... hopefully we can juice it back to health before it dies of thirst ...

The tree is screaming for help, understanding, but unfortunately ignored. Perhaps if we were kinder to her, she would embellish her wealth upon all. Fantastic write!

Be safe,

Our forests and our trees are a dwindling natural resource and a source of deep personal gratitude from me. One of my fondest memories of young childhood is sleeping on the ground under a span of large pine trees a short walk from my country home in Oregon.

"Mother Hunger" --A powerful 5-7-5 message by word and image.
(The coloring is fabulous!)

Wonderful. Without nature we cannot survive so we have to be a friend with nature, protecting and conserving it to the best of our ability. The painting is marvelous; it perfectly matches with the haiku. thanks Kimmy for your co0ntinous efforts to support issues on Somalia

great write but mother nature will probably surprise us and I do not believe we will enjoy her solution.

Deeply thought provoking, Kimmy...Mother Nature on both our minds today. *Thanks for the review* God help us, for we have destroyed what He wrought: what we get is justly deserved!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Kimmy, you've said it simply but powerfully. Mother nature is our friend--wish the population could be its friend. The picture is terrific, and I'm still trying to figure out how you managed to create it. It looks like a reflection caught in a bubble or raindrop.

Far too many are truly deaf, dumb, and blind concerning Mother's fate today - and I truly pity generations to come that will wonder why we were so blind.

Indeed when the last tree is cut and the rivers run dry, the we'll say opp's what have we done...

Even a dead tree will stand there offering its shadow on a weltering day of summer. Yes, Nature is juiceless, but even in death it still extend to man its ultimate offer.
Well done.
