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!!!

Haha wow. very different and i am speachless. it is very interesting to see how you would thing in the way that a tree sees things. i really really like this ones. ive always felt sorry for the trees, and youve wrote a poem about how they feel makes me feel even worse. those poor poor trees. good poem, those evil people should read this and maybe they will shed a tear and thing twice about what they do to the world and the trees.

It's okay. I didn't like the naughty words in it, But other than that I do like how it shows the realationship between the tree(s) and us. They give us a lot, and we cut them down. Good Job!!! :)

Its a wondeful poem, but it makes me feel guilty in a way. Not because I use and abuse what the trees give, but that other people do. They take and take till nothing is left. If everyone just helped and replanted a few trees and took care of them, then people would appriciate nature and what mother nature gives us.

"If I'm alive
You are alive" Great two lines. We are all connected.

I like the use of colors in this poem. They were all earth colors, except for the purple (the color of bruises and pain) and this brought the earth imagery to life.

I also like that it is told from the point of view of the tree. This made it more original than just a rant against pollution. The first line was great, too, drawing the reader in and getting the angry tone across right away. The structure of the poem (first what the tree gives, then what humans give back, then bringing them together with the lines about both being alive because of each other) was really well done and interesting as well.

A good poem, yet again. I think this and the time one are my favorites from you.
