Hi Pam.
This poem gives a strong image of what floods can do and also the effects of deforestation. It is sad when all the strong trees a gone and now the weak ones are being washed away with all the animals that lived in them.
It is sad that it has now become and archeological dig. It will remind us what we ruined and maybe stop us from making the same mistake again.
Kee writing and stay healthy
Have a terrific Tuesday.

Thank you, jon for taking the time to read my poem
I think it’s going to matter what else has happened in those 300 years where the man has ever learned his mistakes

You’re most kindly welcome, Pam. I agree with your statement.

Comment from Tim Margetts
It stuns me, Pam, that even with all the evidence in front of us humanity cannot see that change has consequence.
I love your poem and the way it lifts up into plain view just one effect of unfettered greed.
I find the Yellowstone experiment most enlightening, and what happened when they re-introduced wolves to the region (If you don't know if it, look it up, quite eye opening)

Yes, Tim I know very well of the introduction of the wolves and I think it is a positive thing.
One thing it definitely does is make sure that the strong members of the pack survive, which makes everyone up there, including the herbivores who end up having enough grass to eat because they’re not overpopulated
Thank you for taking the time to read and review my poem

An interesting reflection on the planet and how we humans are treating it - the title speaks volumes with 'raging' being a great choice of word. 'Man's continued theft' is a striking image.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I really like this line: This forest has no big trees left because of man's continued theft. We should replace what we take, but we continue to leave our destruction behind for future generations.
My daughter would love this poem; she is a firm believer that Mother Earth is attempting to clear the planet of those who are harming her. Your last two lines reinforce her belief.
A very thought-provoking write, Pam. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

The main theme of your poem is expressed in well chosen words making it easy to understand your message. The history and description of trees in the valley promotes a somber mood as we think of man's disregard of nature. Your artwork pairs perfectly.

You have certainly broke into the top five of poets I enjoy reading. I really enjoy learning and being entertained, or better yet enlightened. I loved how this flowed off my tongue and it seemed simple play on words to rhyme, yet it seemed seamless and not forced. Memorable.

Nature has a way of reclaiming what was rightfully theirs. This is a daunting piece you have delivered, my friend. I also enjoyed the artwork, as it pairs nicely with your talent.
God bless,
Steve
