[Critique Group 2] Fwd: reminder: ieces are due tomorrow.

[Leonard Tuchyner]

Hi group2,

Just a reminder that your submissions are due tomorrow.  Mine is below.

Wouldn’t it Be Lovely 

 

I witness this diminished landscape 

and see houses where once there were  trees --

tarmac driveways where once there were scrubs.

Now neighbors replace the woolly woods. 

 

Though there is something to be said for neighbors, 

I miss the quiet noise of wilderness,

like the cacophony of geese in flight,

rather than the clamor of leaf blowers,

or the harsh roar of lawn mowers. 

 

Straight- lined roofs sans the soft blur of arbors, 

and the sterile boxy shapes of houses, 

do not rest quietly in my spirit. 

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely to plant a tree,

bushes, flowers and other flora, 

to provide shade and respite for our eyes --

to clear our polluted air of carbon 

and baffle the noises we live in?

If only the neighbors would listen.

 

Wouldn’t it be lovely?
