about the amazon rainforest deforestation

~@~@~@~ In The Amazon ~@~@~@~

breeze dances with young saplings

amidst old magnolia trees

who share drops of wisdom

about the roots of all evil

 

 
 
 
 




There are more trees in the amazon than stars in the Milky Way constellation

Magnolia tree is one of the many species in the Amazon

Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe. === source = writers digest ===source=wikipedia
