crab apples

 

Today i picked a crab apple

straight from my sexy tree

i had a little bite

but the apple then bit me,

 

I walked towards my pear tree

and pondered for a while

if i picked that juicy pear

would the taste be vile?

 

We have to live together

in harmony and peace

like the bumble bee and fusia

and the great grebes mating tease.

 

Every single organism

relys on something else

to survive this hostile world

and to avoid a damning hell.

 

Everthing we love is

dying out before our eyes

it wont be very long before

the planet wants to die.

 

Man is the one who has

turned this world to stone

selfishness and greed

now the world is all but done.

You are correct, it is true. I hate seeing all the beautiful green trees and grass turning into a concrete jungle, it is a sad shame. The saddest part is that it may be to late to change things if people don't start now. What will our children and grandchildren have to live in? This is a very good write with excellant points. It has good flow and rhyme and tells the truth. I hope people that read it also "heed" it. Thanks emz, for a great read. ;)

Sometimes quickly written is better. Though you did quite well here and oh so true.

It is true. For the future, I actually don't recommend rhyme, because that can take away from the quality of writing. I actually liked the poem best when I read it a second time without the last two stanzas. It seemed more powerful to me, although then a part of your message was missing.
So: not bad, and keep writing. :)
