Tree

feelings of a tree...

    

I am alive D****t

I give you

 fruit

I give you fragrance

I give you home to live and grow

I give you shelter

I give you shadow

I give you fresh air

I give you different medicines

I give you all I have

Because of me you are alive

You give me suffocation

through pollution

You take my life 

by taking away water

You didn't give me the care I need

You only have the habit of cutting and

making money out of it

You didn't care about me

You only care about yourself

If I'm alive

You are alive

I am the Tree D****t. . .

Very important, and a unique topic. I like how open-minded you were. It almost sounded like an actual tree speaking. And I also liked how emotionally connected you were. Feeling the tree's pain, how it suffers and how we as humans sometimes abuse its importance without a second thought. Very Interesting!!!

[Sarah McConnaughey]

A very interesting perspective, and a very honest, very true poem. That's probably exactly what a tree would tell us if they could speak. Well done!

Blissfully wonderful! I have never read anything quite like this! Splendid!

I like this, it's very creative! And true. And it really makes you wonder, if a tree could talk or think would this be what it thought or said? Kind of sad really. Nice job here. :)

This is so profound and intense; the only problem I see is a flow problem in the verse that begins "You didn't give me the care I need" See what you think about this: You didn't give me the care I needed
You chose only to hack me down
so you can profit from my demise."
In the next verse if you reversed the words "only & care"; so the line reads, "You care only about yourself"
I do not critique to be cruel, but because this is an excellent poem, the subject is important, I would like it to be accessible to more people by being easier to read.

That about sums it up! Trees are marvelous Nature Teachers that give so generously of themselves. We don't appreciate them nearly as much as we should. You've given them an honest voice here, well done!
