Shimmering bronze August weeps a grey November twilight. Consider the naked blue evening, grieves the yellow May morning. Hush billowing sails soar through the gale of scientists turning up as many as Ten thousand new species of insects every year. Surely we have enough? |

Love the begining. You capture nature so well. I like how it just flows right into the scientists from the gale. very much like a cycle of everything on this earth and everyone one. Does one have more importance? Joy |

Hello John: I really enjoyed your opening pertaining to nature you caught it well. Your failures in life come from not realizing your nearness to success when you give up. -Yoruba Proverb Poetry & Friendship, PrincessPoet |

Well the juxta position of science and nature is a big dilemma for me also Cat. Do we need more? Good One Jon |

Every creature is important.... However, this poem poses a question asked by many I believe. Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

JTC--With my busy schedule, I let this one slip by at first....  A little more abstract than usual, but I like it (as I do all of your poetry).  "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |

I hate bugs, so of course I don't want to be bothered by the thousands scientists discover every day, but I don't think we have much choice, now do we? Life defines no more than what it is you ask for. April 20, 2000 Alicia A. Renzelman |

Thanks for all your comments everyone. This one was just an experiment. A diversion. I think I'll go back to rhyme now |

This is neat, John! I like this.. well, I must say, I would rather they turned up different breeds of insects.. more insects, than more humans.. hehe. *_^ very nicely written.. excellent piece Lynne |

Isn't it crazy how smart humans try to be? I too wonder sometimes if we're supposed to know it all--why we keep pushing on to learn everything, to progress, and we seem to be pushing ourselves further into disrepair. Good Job! You made me think! ~~Jamie  "I keep breaking all the promises That I keep making to myself You'd think by now that I'd be over this Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself So why does everything seem desperate now? I should be feeling so alive But it feels like something's missing Something's wrong somehow It feels like something deep inside has died..." --Stabbing Westward |
