Poem -
ABUNDANCE
It was always all there
for the taking
the animals with soulful eyes
a universe above the skies...
the wildflower fields
the wood of trees
the oil beneath
our deep blue seas...
the gold and silver
fish in shoals
the berries fruits
the earth's black coals
such abundanceΒ
from the world we took
but greedy ways
soon overtook...
for now the earth
lies naked bare
and we must kneel
to say a prayer...
in time to heal
and change our ways
or make our peace
with end of days....

My Dear Lady Marion,
Another brilliant poem, aimed at the greed of mankind, a subject very dear to me.Β We have raped Mother Nature, and desecrated our atmosphere.Β Your powerful insight is an inspiration for mankind.
All my love,

I truly enjoy your writing so much. I wish I could write like that. And not only is the writing beautiful, but the thoughts, and the way you convey them are fantastic. Great job! Loved it.Β

PS. I once wrote a poem called A Bun Dance, but it was about a hot, buttered roll that had just learned to cha-cha. Unfortunately, he became despondent when he realized he didn't have legs, and then was eaten by a Teamster. Sad story. Anyway, I like yours better. M.Β
