A response to a writers challenge


Stirrings

Leaves of trees
blanket my bed
A silly old alleycat
keeps watch at my head
These things of nature
a mothers fond child
One chose their own course
growing up wild
Forgetting the fortune
I've given to life
Replacing with darkness
pollution and strife
I send them warnings
they don't heed or care
Destroying my children
for the public welfare
I stir and storms
sweep in from the sea
Frown and my wrinkles
cause many to flee
Heed my message
I pray you will hear
Dreams of destruction
my waking draws near
Soon I will strike
no choice to be had
One out of many
their story most sad
Create a companion
my bounty bestow
Instead bringing heartache
man makes me his foe

Thank you for your kind comments
The challenge was a pic of a forest scene
A woman was lying on the ground covered
with leaves. You could only see her head and neck. A black cat was sitting looking at the viewer by the womans head. The womans face
showed a slight flush on the cheaks. Though her face was smooth the look showed some underlying emotion, or stirrings
At least to me lol
