A Whispered Plea
by Kay Lee Kelly
copyright 05-20-2002


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
W.B. Yeats said,
"A poem should click shut like a closing box."
The last line is what the reader takes away with him.
Now if you are still with me, on to the poem.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **




"and He cried with a loud voice:
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees. "
(Revelation.)


A Whispered Plea


The cutter came to day
Saws, ax in tow
He gazed at the row
Of age old oaks
Smiled, nodded
Like he said hello.

Grate of the saw
Chills the air,
Swish of the branches as they fall,
crash of trunks,
scattered leaves,
Silent cries,
muffled screams.


Wounded ancient oak
Stumbles to her knees,
Haunting wind-wept beauty,
Vanquished for eternity.


If you listen carefully
Sighing through the leaves
Angel ‘s whispered pleas,
Don’t hurt the trees.
Don’t hurt the trees.

Excellent portrayal of a situation that happens far too often, Kay Lee...we share the pain of those magnificent trees.

I could feel their anguish. Tight poem, and oh, so true. Very, very good.

Very nice imagery. I really liked this.

Hey, Kay lee..I really enjoyed this poem. I feel for the trees, as they are living things, and to be killed ..for what? another mall? another superhighway? We are our own worst enemies, in that we are destroying our world, and with it, ourselves. Bunny
