Poem Artwork

climbing the hill i reach the top the view is so desolate
i sit here contemplating the plight we all ignored to the end
the demise occured when we took our surrounding for granted
then i wonder where have we all gone

i look around the empty skies and wonder where are the birds
the ones who sang to me once or captured my imagination
the aerial antics of courtship a mating pair displayed to impress
then i wonder were have we all gone

i view my surroundings all is empty now no creatures around
nothing to stimulate imaginations to spark my interest anymore
all is bare empty lonely no beauty to be seen i am so alone
then i wonder were have we all gone

there is nothing left but bare rocks and sandy soil so desolate
nothing to call a home nothing to share my world with all is gone
i am the last of everything there is no more there never will be
then i wonder where have we all gone

as the sun beats down on me i realize how thirsty i am there is no water
no shelter from the sun or elements around everything is decayed now
i will soon be extinct as the rest species plants animals even cities gone
then i wonder where have we all gone

Then would you want some Hemlock?
Death is natural, including the death of planets.
Our aversion to things natural is curious.
It would be amazing to experience what you describe, wondering if it is just you, how many more breaths will be safe to breathe.
Carve initials in a fallen tree.
Have to love- though none will see...

What am I a poet?

I now sadly wonder the very same, more and more each day. Bees, bats, butterflies, and even birds seem to now be vanishing, right before our eyes. And more and more creatures in the land, sea, and air seem to be dying off, every day now.

I'm glad I'm getting old; I now fear our planet will one day soon be a very desolate place.

A very gloomy poem. Like the end of days. Like the aftermath H-Bomb blast. Like the last pair of shoes in the sale grabbed by someone in front of you. Like the poem very much!!
Mary the writer is a shiny writer.
