Deforestation;
blades cut a swathe through foliage:
beauty has its price....

Axes on the shoulders
The bare earth has no say
To the loaded tracks...

The deforestation of my mind
Where the trees of abundance
Hold my memories in their sacred branches
And the happiness that drips like dew
From the salaciously orgasmic leaves after 
photosynthesis...

DEFORESTATION
~~
Topical Tree Poetry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deforestation rife!
From copse to woodlands
And trees on their own suffer the knife!
Deforestation rife!
Rainforest to jungles,
Arboretums to parklands suffering strife
Deforestation rife!
There is suffering unseen.
To all macro, micro, wildlife.
Deforestation rife!
The whole world pays,
yes you, if you're married your wife.
Deforestation rife!
Nothing is safe, trees breathe for...

Deforestation


I stood, AMBIVALENT to full and LUSCIOUS scenes

in this ARCANE, new woodland, BITTERSWEET with views;

FLAMBOYANT yet QUIESCENT, TACTILE thoughts came forth

of similar QUINTESSENCE brutally destroyed

by INTERCESSOR...'progress and development'...

the IMMOLATION of past woodlands' lovely trees.

Deadly humanity

Exterminating all

Forests along with animals, 

Outrage should be how we feel

Restitution should be our aim, 

Eradicating corporate greed

Senseless destruction, 

The cutting and burning of trees

Animal extinction abhorrent to me, 

This must end rapidly

Insipid evil within humanity, 

One movement for our ecology

Needless is our destruction...

Lost in the green, leafy space,
Resting on his back out in the country,
The old hermit picks himself up and stands.
He begins the morning trek in the forest
Admiring the nature filled scenery—
The last retreat from the world.

Here peace abounds outside the world,
The man tries to create...

I met with a group who were passionately against deforestation,
who held their meetings at one of their member's log cabins,
and the rest of the members all lived in wooden housing.
People tend to not practice what they claim to believe in....

The trees cut from the forest 
are used in building houses 
as downpour from the mountain 
brings flood to the town....

Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.

Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.

Locking in scanty rainfall and a prolonged arid season,
tall towering canopies fell down~ecosystem lost balance...

We Have Only Ourselves To Blame  


The way we live now seems barely the same,
Enduring one ecological disaster after another.
It’s obvious we have only ourselves to blame
For changing the climate and the weather.

Enduring one ecological disaster after another:
Rampant forest fires, pollution, desertification. 
For changing...

A forest path does wind,
All shrubs with love entwined
Atop trees, monkeys live,
Another deathly strive
Abhorrent humans lie,
And trees, grass, shrubs will sigh
As oxygen will die

Unfortunately misread the rules for this contest, so I am withdrawing

Malayan Tigers are listed as, critically endangered

They live is in the Malay Peninsula, of Thailand
in their habitat of forests, grasslands and wetlands

They have threats of poaching, for the illegal black markets
as China will not put ban, on...

Maybe a simulation only
Tsunami tells us the waves 
Will eventually roar storeys high
The endless quarrying tells us 
One day the mountain rocks start rolling
The flood tells us the rivers
Will penetrate into the cities like roads
Pollution makes the rivers feed on colours
Acid rain sheds the leaves...
