We see but grey where once was green As bulldozers now scrape, Turning a joyful rural scene Into joyless landscape. The area was green-belt land With forest and pasture But as our numbers still expand We will invade nature. And so that farmland must give way To high profit housing. Farming that land has had its day. Let the plunder begin....

They burnt tons of tusks But the felled beasts Remained silent still In the spirit realm Watching the fire slowly Consume pieces of themselves Waiting quietly In that realm Where their glorious trumping Is not perceptible to the living Waiting patiently For their brothers, sisters Sons, daughters and Pieces of themselves To join them In the silence of the spirits...

A gentle wave from curling leaf watches in weakness. Green slips from shore, a purchased release. Tender roots wash with shuttered sounds. Steals foundation to a diminished, poison grip. Inundate with modern gift's inevitable disguise. The last of life, extinction blazes black. Down slips the rocky skirts beneath the liquid lip. A mist of remembrance where stone nuture once...

More rural space becomes an urban scar As man’s machines arrive and start to scrape Through living loam down to the dead grey clay. Hedges ripped out and carted off to tip, Trashing nests and burrows right from the start. The babbling brook that supplied the small pond Is piped to concrete culvert underground Destroying one more vital...

Butterflies are a magical magentic wonder of our world's skies In many ways they are not dissimilar to us coming in all different colours categories configurations and size. Butterflies can't see their own wings they never know their outer beauty or no how truly beautiful they are But everyone else can see them and can admire their breathtaking...

(Free Verse) How we miss those lovely, verdant scenes of woodlands that framed our riversides; rich, with hearty trees and creature life... callously mowed down, destroyed in name of progress and development... deforestation...acres of lush trees, and their creatures also now long gone; territory lost by human cause. They left; now stray into our yards, exiled, hungry, have nowhere to go. Once they roamed...

"Awakening to the Red Road: An Ecopoetic Odyssey" I. Anthropocentric Dissonance - Daniel Henry Rodgers Do you hear that rumbling? That's the ancient woodlands wailing and crying out!

The utter splendour of garden life Encompassed by nature, calm and serene A sanctuary away from all that strife What a pleasure it has been! Wondrous sounds competing all around With eyes closed, I listen in Standing barefoot upon grassy ground A blissful deluge has me in a spin A lonely droplet descends from above Splash! A pond ripples of a glistening fluid Hidden within...
