[Word art] 'Poor Birds' by Ted Hughes

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

 ‘Birds are an integral part of any ecosystem they inhabit. Birds help control insects and rodents. They disperse seeds, helping to bring new life to disturbed areas. And birds are pollinators, critical for flowering plants, trees and shrubs.When birds and their habitats are at risk, so is the wider environment. Birds depend on certain habitat conditions for survival — conditions that can be supported through balanced and sustainable forest management.’

Do you like any poems of Ted Hughes? His work is like his relationship with nature, so many are challenging, but have brilliant use of language.

Beautiful poem. The only problem on this planet is he people. Nature would be so much happier without us here. We just don't seem to be able to apply our grey matter into understanding what long term coexistence with nature will take and people sure don't have the guts to enforce the necessary.

Yes, we've gotten pretty successful as a collaborative species. Just need to re-learn some respect again. Biggest challenge... but one to face in our small ways.

I think that's what gets me the most, we actually can turn things around, why don't we?

Nature is more than I enjoy. In particular, this brick wood captured from a busy mechanical life of a fictitious camera might have taken us some time to nature.

searching for the safety that sleeps

that word got me, but is there really safety anywhere?

A bird is such a creature that forsure amazes in its living. I do enjoy looking at and as well keeping them to me
