Make a Difference

by Brittany C   Nov 23, 2006


The sky seems to be falling in on me,
It is suffocating me,
As it forces trapped fumes into my lungs,
That you helped put there,

Please don't burn the coal,
Don't cut down that young tree,
Every chop you make,
Cuts deep into my heart,
Every gas you release into the atmosphere,
Adds to the pressure on my lungs,

Are you trying to kill me,
Do you really want to destroy this earth,
It is the only one we got,
Where would we go,
We can change,
And make changes,
It may not be to late,

Lets save are planet,
And that lives on her,
Plant a tree,
Recycle a can,
Make a difference,
It would mean the world.

    To be honest this is anothe rpoem I have read today that does not deserve the high amount of five votes it has. While the idea of helping nature is a good one, and I liked it alot, it felt too preachy to me. Words like seems give of fa feeling of uncertainty and it was straight forward so it felt more telling than showing. It wasn't original though at times it felt like it wanted to be. THe message is a good and strong one though and that is what seems to be keeping your readers.

    I sort of didn't like the fact that you related the cutting down of trees, with cutting. It's really good imagery, but it's not really original. The fact that you are trying to save nature is really cool. Good poem.
