Hear the smell
Of rotting limbs
When cedars hit the plane
To meld their woe
In sawdust blood
Whilst man ignores their shame
The buzz of death
At pull of chain
To conveyor belt or yellow crane
And burn their pulp
In smokey flood
It's death, yes, all the same
Hear the smell
Of rotting limbs
As cedars hit the plane

I see this is your first poem after many replies   ...

So while I can't say welcome per se, I will say welcome to your first poem! LOL...This is sad...really it is...and you've said it well...

Your dangers are many. I
Cannot look much but your form suffers

You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat

Good poem from your point of view.  In this logging country, I have learned not to take sides.  And how many of us live in wooden houses?  Joyce

Welcome to Poetry Land...
impressive poem of intend and imagery
vivid and powerful.
very cool write!!
So nice to read your work...  
look forward to more.

Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly ...
To be fearful of the night.

Thankyou so much for all the kind and wonderful replies.  I am not against the logging industry, simply the irresponsibility of man in the lack of planning to re-plant what we reap.  That's all.

And while I am here.  Thankyou, everyone, for all of your inspiring pieces.  I want to lose sleep in order to read them all!
