CLIENTS OF THE LORAX

10 04 99

Forest wardens
Pirates of pollution
Shooing rodent refugees
With foot of white
While incoming winter
Winds rob them of their
Thin green children

Author's Note

Inspired (obviously) by the book "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss.

Many thanks^^

[Castonovia]

Quirky and fun indeed, love Dr. Seuss though don't think I've watched or read this one... it's now on my " to do" list. ;p

[kublakhan27]

Truth be told, I haven't read or seen it either...I just remember seeing it as a play in elementary school way before it went "mainstream" :)

[Castonovia]

How did that turn out??? :D

[kublakhan27]

I can't remember lol It was an actual theater group though so it must have been alright :P

[Abdul Batin Osman Bey]

nice, it has a reflective quality to it in a playful manner.

[kublakhan27]

Thank you, I thought it was gonna be longer but once I had those lines I decided it was finished lol

[Destinyxi]

I haven't seen the movie or read the book haha. BUT I like the poem, and not only because it's short :P

[kublakhan27]

Haha funny thing is I haven't done those things either :P I remembered it from a play that came to my elementary school when I was a kid...and I figured it would make a nice little riddle for those unfamiliar with the story...I'm glad you still liked it :)

[Dark Butterfly]

the meaning took a minuit to sink in, but thats what makes poetry great! i loved this!
100/100
:)

[kublakhan27]

Haha yeah I thought about stretching it but realized it could work as a metaphor or riddle with just these lines so I didn't wanna risk dragging it out lol I'm glad you liked it so much :D

[That_Girl]

Haha I just recently watched this with a little boy I babysit. He was reciting some of the lines as it was playing... it was adorable. ^_^ anyways, short but sweet! LOVE the last two lines.

[kublakhan27]

Haha that's cool :) Glad you like it :D

[gombeggar]

nice little pinch of words here...sometimes a few words are all it takes

[kublakhan27]

Thank you, I thought about stretching it but decided to stick with the "short and sweet" approach :P

[Ella]

[kublakhan27]
