Rainforest Poem Collection

Short Poem Collection 
Written for school. Didn't want to post them all seperatly, so I put them all in here. This was a prompt for school about rainforests and how they're being cut down. I chose to write some poems. :)

Noises of the Forest

Small songs laced

With the gentle breezes

A bird lands softly on a branch

Singing quietly with the rustling leaves

Watching the world below her

A relaxing tune

Accompanied by the soft beating of wings

And the croaking of bright frogs

Peaceful

They are interrupted by an at first gentle hum

Then it erupts into an ear shattering groan

A tree falls

And all is silent

The song has fallen quiet

Except for the loud wails of the human machines

Intruding on the gentle song

Of the rainforest

~~~

The Rain Forest

Small little flowers hold the secrets

That could save our lives

And yet

The tree falls to the ground

With a loud crash

But everyone pretends

They did not hear

Another is cut down

And another

And another

Until miles upon miles

Are simply stumps

And settling dust

~~~


Animals Forgotten

Tail woven among the

Now cut down

Tree branches

We left them to 

Figure it out

An animal, forgotten

Large pads hitting the dirt

Running faster, and faster

Bullets streaking by

Until they fall

Pelt put upon the wall

But that animal

Forgotten

A small birds nest

Nestled in the crook of a tree

When the tree falls

They fall with it

No where to go, or hide

An animal

Forgotten

~~~
Many Years Ago

Many years ago

Everything thrived

The sky was open and clear

Life stretched on for miles upon miles
A gentle padder of paws

The flapping of wings

Were the loudest noises

The world was at peace
But 

All good things come to an end

But this time

We still have a choice

About our ending

~~~
Fix This

We can fix this

Heal the world

It will take time

Years, days,

Longer than it took

To hurt the world

But we can fix this

A seed can be uprooted

But another can be planted

We can fix this

We just have to try.

    Love these. They go so well as a collection and you speak the whole truth.

    I write because the music of language spoke to me in books and I wanted to make a beautiful noise to answer back ~ Lee Williams.
