Preach! I wish there were more poets like you, getting word out that we're demolishing our earth and now are actually moving backwards from helping to protect it. Terrifying. Thanks for posting, and I wish you luck.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Mother Nature can be very cruel. Floods, earthquakes, and fires are awful ways to die. In California we are leading with tremendous fires, one two miles away from us. We all have a go bag ready for evacuation but hopefully it won't happen. We were doing better but the wind changed towards us.
Excellent rhyme and meter.
Well done!

I will keep you in my heart and soul, gypsy and hope for the best for you during these trying times. Not only the best for you but for all your neighbors and everybody in the LA area.

Thank you 😊
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Raging River, presents a stark look at the aftermath of the overflowing river as it would bulldoze the valley and level all that is there now.

Thank you for the lovely review
Comment from Rachelle Allen
The wildfires of California prove beyond anyone's imagination that Mother Nature ALWAYS has the final say. I saw a tornado once on Graduation Day at college, as I was leaving to return home to NY. Again, man is NO match for Mother Nature.
Very well done rhythm here, Pam; it had a 'barreling' and No Nonsense feel to it that matched the words perfectly. Also, I liked that your rhymes were natural and flowed. Not even once felt "forced."
Very well done post. xo

Thank you for your warm and thoughtful review and for taking the time to read my poem
Comment from barbara.wilkey
God made us stewards of the Earth. All the land, creatures, and water. We've made a horrible mess of things. I'm sure God is not at all happy about this. Thank you for highlighting the problem with this well written poem.

Thank you for your wonderful review
Comment from artisart4u
This sure is a nice poem about a tree being cut down and nature uprooting it during a storm. Either way, it is at risk of survival.
Your couplets, picture, color, and font are nice.
Good luck with your poem.

Good for Mother Nature! I hope she continues to fight on against man's terrible, selfish behavior. We don't deserve the beauty and the resources that the Earth gives us when it treat it so badly. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Pam,
You always write the best poem. I love the rhyme scheme and it flows nicely to the end.
It is so true that man has destroyed the forest. Even where I live these houses being built are driving the coyotes into the neighborhoods.
Well done my friend
Cecilia

You are welcome my friend

Pam,
Your poem sends a good message. The present administration doesn't care about the environment. Global warming may destroy this earth sooner than when we think.
Then we look to the stars to find another planet to ruin.
We still have a lot of trees on our Pennsylvania hills. I hope we never lose them.
Your poignant poem is a wake up call for us all.
Good luck,
Blessings,
Cindy

This is an amazing poem, about what can happen when man interferes with the natural world. Your rhyming is on point and the subject matter gives us food for thought. Thanks for sharing. :)
