Foster flora

End of Earth is when the last plant dies

FOSTER FLORA 

Some people might feel,

Why poets write about simple things,

Like nature, plants and trees.

Humans are a wonderful creation by god,

It is a matter of time when environment would be extinct.

So, there must be poems and books on plants,

To make the future generation feel what their ancestors have done,

Unnoticed poems about nature would be precious then,

Because it is human nature to realise the value of a thing only when we lose them. 

The essence of earth would be lost

With growing infrastructure.

The rains would be gone 

As pollution takes control over. 

Shade from trees would be replaced by shade from skycrapers.

What will people greet with when there are no flowers left? 

The greenery would be seen no more,

This planet will appear sad

When the touch of nature would be lost,

This world will die, when the last plant is crushed to death.

This poem is very current for our times. Right now in California, the wildfires are raging & I need to leave my home soon becuz of a nearby fire. This fire has burned many things from my childhood, mountains where I've hiked & rivers where people fish & picnic & swim. Things will grow back after 10 years, but for a while, everything will feel like devastation. This is happening everywhere by all kinds of destruction, not just fire, but flooding, hurricanes, & just slow extinction of many species. Your poem is a way to tell us to wake up & take note of things becuz they may be gone soon. Your poem brings to light an important part of writing -- to chronicle life as it once was. There's so much of my writing, about nature, & these things are already gone forever. Your writing shows your passion for this kind of writing -- to preserve the beauty & the life as we now know it, thru our words (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Even the current generation is not fully aware of true beauty of nature and I'm included in that . But these poems helps us to get mesmerised by the nature's beauty and opens the doors of curiosity for us. Thanks for writing it. Great throwback answer over the question of nature's poem. :)

A great hard hitting intelligent poem on the loss of the planet due to human rapacity. Without flowers and greenery this planet will be ruined. Kudos for this impressive poem. You are a poetess?
