my my, long winded are you today. And a beautiful wind it is. ; )
ohh I goes on a bit sometimes! lol. Thanks AP.
Thanks STEVE you have brightened my SUNDAY as I brightened yours ! Iam a Biologist and a Conservetionist so i love and admire ALL CREATURES ~ Great & Small ! In NATURE the equilibrium is maintained by the Cycles and Seasons (which you hint at in your Poem) and "Life on Earth" by complex Food Chains & Webs. Since the Agricultural & Industrial Revolutions MAN (in his ignorance & arrogance) has put himself above and outside these cycles & webs and denudes the Environment Removing trees etc and adding pollution and slowly killing the EARTH. GOD who seeks to sustain & maintain Planet earth is not well pleased. What we need NOW is an ENVIRONMENTAL AGE ! AMEN BRIAN
Thanks B. I see some nature programmes. All is OK, then man comes along and mucks it up. Not every time, but kills some fish or plant or something just for fun. Meanwhile _ I got no equi-wotist if I'm on the sherry! heehee.
Great write
