THE LAST TREE STANDING

 

 

 

 

I face the wind.

Each day I wait.

Time passes.

I wait for the world to change.

People come and go.

I hear sounds of trees falling

and cries of animals dying.

The rolling hills are replaced by buildings,

monstrous symbols to mankind.

Fewer trees dot the naked landscape.

Dirty water fills the lakes and ocean.

Mankind has changed the world

in irreversible ways.

Stop before it’s too late.

I refuse to be the last tree standing.

Thank you, John Herlihy. I search for a picture that inspires me and then I write words that come to mind. This began as an exercise in writing for me. Now I enjoy so much that I continue writing my little ditties and poems. It's fun and liberating. An escape from writing my book.

Another amazing graphic, the trees itself seems to have a face which is so apt for this poem in which the tree faces the world and speak to it a reprimand. Excellent. John
