I'm pleased your poem won as it might bring more awareness about these shocking situations. Well done on such a well put-together poem on such an alarming subject. The poet's role as an activist is important, so good on you for this poem of sad outrage. (And congratulations on your win!)

    Thank you Lisa May ..

    I have written a couple of other poems on this brutal reality ..

    we are destroying their habitat today but one day we will be sorry ..we don?t respect our planet , our home and Mother Nature will rebel

    We can see where our arrogance has taken us ..
    I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this time ..

    Keep safe !

    I agree - it's probably irreversible already, I fear. Our beautiful planet has been ravaged for short term gain.

I like your creative take on the contest theme challenge. You're right it isn't just humans who suffer homelessness and you told it well in good form and alliteration and assonance. Best to you in the contest!

    I appreciate the positive response..

    No home , no food ..these beautiful gentle beings are destined to go extinct..

    If you watched the videos you saw the baby clinging to his mom rescued and drugged so they can take them to safer territory ( which each day is getting less

    The baby was scared .. those eyes ... the look ... it was upsetting but at least these people are trying to help them.

This is a really short but powerful piece reminding us of the dread the fellow animals live in daily in their endangered homes. Thank you for sharing. All the best for the contest!

Also, if you are interested, please check the poem I wrote called "A Mute's Tale" in my portfolio. You'd find it to be an expansion of this poem.
Cheers,
George

Very nicely done. I think you've done an excellent job with this poem. You personify the apes and show what it is must be like to have to deal with this. Well written and touching.

    Thank you for the kind review .. initially , I had written a poem about the orangutan in the first video


    Trees fall
    Orangutan
    Fights off dull dozer
    With bare hands but loses battle
    and life.

    But when I saw the second video I wrote about how many babies are orphaned and how they cling to their mothers ..


    Keep safe

    Ciao!
