Tree

feelings of a tree...

    

I am alive D****t

I give you

 fruit

I give you fragrance

I give you home to live and grow

I give you shelter

I give you shadow

I give you fresh air

I give you different medicines

I give you all I have

Because of me you are alive

You give me suffocation

through pollution

You take my life 

by taking away water

You didn't give me the care I need

You only have the habit of cutting and

making money out of it

You didn't care about me

You only care about yourself

If I'm alive

You are alive

I am the Tree D****t. . .

Very important, and a unique topic. I like how open-minded you were. It almost sounded like an actual tree speaking. And I also liked how emotionally connected you were. Feeling the tree's pain, how it suffers and how we as humans sometimes abuse its importance without a second thought. Very Interesting!!!

a good poem with a thought provoking message...I absolutely love trees, especially the very old spreading chestnut ones. Thankyou

[Maureen Mwaniki]

This is such a true poem...and its not just trees,humanity has a way of biting the hand that feeds her!

A one side relationship gone awry! We are falling behind as care givers of this planet--trees unite! Great energy.

Lovely hon! Trees are so not looked up to! One day, we shall look on life and think, hell! What have we done! xx

[Andrew Wright]

The point cannot be lost here... a very straightforward poem with awesome use of color.

I like it....The Lorax would be proud!
Cheers!

Interesting as if you were the tree, an advocate for the tree. Any tree could read our DNA.

Very true. The whole earth, all of nature, has so much meaning to it and society tends to overlook it. Nice work.

[Brad]

respect! my ancestors were believers in thanking the tree for all of their gifts...be it home, weapon, canoe, etc

[emily joe]
