Chère S.,
By now you may remember that I am a great fan of your work.
There are a hundred different ways to actually do something to minimise further damage. And there are a hundred ways to handle it in an artistic way. There have been moments where those tipped the balance.And every little bit helps. Of that I am sure.
I agree, what’s been done was done. But no-return? We’ll have to wait and see.
Love this write a lot.
Please go on writing these poems, dear neighbour!Kind regards, Gus
Kind regards, Gus-

Sadly, it’s too late to make things undone. But I trust that humankind will be smart enough to keep the damage as small as possible and to do their very best to protect this planet which provides optimal and in this universe unique conditions for living.
Thank you very much, dear Gus, for writing such a well thought of comment and for your appreciation!

This is a wonderful, poignant poem, Sappho. It’s tragic when you think about it. We humans are the only sentient, conscious life forms on our Mother, with the power to give or take life, both in the small sense and in the larger sense – extinction. Your poem is important because it tells the truth about our impending doom, unless, UNLESS we consciously stop creating the means for our own extinction. It’s ironic, life on the planet will most likely continue and even flourish when humans are gone. After all that meteor wiped out almost all life forms 65 million years ago, but in the absence of dinosaurs and other predators, mammals, our ancestors began to appear and thrive. The problem with the 6th Great Extinction is that there is no guarantee conscious life will emerge again. Extinction: a major event on Earth, a minor event in the Universe.
Thanks for sharing your insightful poem.

Thank you so much for your detailed and meaningful comment, Curt! You are absolutely right, it’s a shame that humans use their intelligence rather to destroy than to care and protect. Many of us haven’t really realised that nothing compares to planet Earth and its optimal preconditions for life.

I’ve always admired your writes. Whether prose or “built” like this one, your talent is obvious.
(And, I read your bio. Even more reason to salute you as a strong person with immense talent).
I picked up on the rhyme scheme in this one easily, because you made it so fluid. Well crafted, Sappho.-

Your kind words make me blush, dear Styx! I’m deeply grateful for your support!

I felt instantly swept into a pure, sensuous dream. Every line is brimming with color, desire, and such a playful, intoxicating energy. It’s more than a cocktail; it’s a feast for the senses.

Mother nature is probably in a foul mood for all men have done to her. Polluting her waters, razing her trees, and a lack of concern for her air are things she’s keeping a list of, I’m sure.
Nice one.
