Destroyed


Cold, bare, bitter
sweet—
Ashes burn on city streets.
It’s quiet.
Much like the browns and greens of the forest
Santa Fe. Silence.
On her blackened heart of conscious
the water rushes toward her haunted.
Stop it!
       The ground is shaking,
              what more could nature be making
The cries and screams of the sizzle,
It’s beautiful—it’s beautiful
Tall slanted emerald trees weeping, wind catching leaves
dripping.
The time changed and all has burned, the place inside my mind can’t be seen anymore. 
Extinction, the past is gone.
Disgusting bags of the remains
horrified.

Time is wasting and the forest is fading.


This was a poem about a place that has been destroyed over time and it affected me negatively. I don't know how to write a Haiku so i wrote a poem!

  1. Your poem has some very powerful images and a great flow! This is a great tie in to the theme's we've been discussing in class, and a real look at the personal impacts of environmental devastation.
