Hello Lea,
I think you chose the perfect form for your theme.
The connection established in the first two stanzas adds to the impact
of the closing stanza.
Yes, our Earth is in trouble, but sometimes I think it is not so much the Earth, but mankind that is it trouble.
The Earth has gone through many phases in its long history, and it will likely survive this one too, but man is far more fragile and there is no other place to go.
I would have ended the poem "I am the Earth weeping..."
Either way, a marvelous poem.
Best wishes.
Robert

You're absolutely right Robert! We can see the effects of our race all over this beautiful planet and see what we do to it. I don't know what we do to ourselves. And what we do to our surroundings with a careless toss. I thank you for your insight as well and I took you're suggestion to heart and changed it appreciate your thoughts! Have a great evening!

I didn't know you were going to end it with the earth I thought you would probably use the Creator heavenly father but the Earth worked for me.
This looks like another contest entry which I never bother with.
Thanks for sharing this and it was very well written.
Good luck with your entry.

Hi there thank you so much again for you are always so thoughtful and knowing when you respond! I kept this as the earth as my attempt was too reach those people who are not environmentally conscious. I believe that every living thing has a language even if we don't understand it, it's still there. The Earth is one living entity created by god and it's voice is telling me "stop." I do a series of reels on environmental issues I. Travel? Around taking minute. Clips? Where will I go and why notice to be different in the world today? That was not there yesterday or the day before. A subject close to my heart as are all things spiritual. Your reviews and your kind comment are always important and taken seriously by me. I thank you very much for them hope that your evening is going well!

Lea,
I so seldom see your poems show up in my message box. I was told a while back that poems that are entered into contests don't get notified... oh well... but your Reviews of my stuff are so always positive and glowing that I diverted from my norm and sought you out. I must seek you out more often!
You are the voice of life itself, a voice filled with poetry and emotion and rich passion.
Your poem Who Am I? is so powerful and right on! I want to hug you.

Thank you so much again! I want you to know The Earth and all living things in it on it are important to be and they are dear to my heart. You a lot o f documentaries on climate change show them on social media right righey? thank you very much. I'm happy this poem strikes a chord with people and with you. And Issues about this planet is close to my heart. Thx so much!

Lea,
Yes. The Living Earth and all of us creatures are the expression of Love. Why we as a species are consciously destroying both the Garden and the inhabitants is beyond comprehention. Peace not war. Love not hate. Obvious choices! :>)

Comment from Anne Johnston
Very well done on this poem. I like how you describe FanStory as a place where we can share what is on our hearts, and feel accepted by the others on here. Writing helps us to unload in a healthy way.

Comment from royowen
I dint think I would count this as a free verse poem, it crosses too many lines, I found very rhythmic with inner rhyme to compliment the flow, it propelled it beautifully, sounding in my mind as a great and lengthy Limerick, beautifully written, my opinion doesn't matter though, good luck, blessings Roy

I am actually totally mesmerized by your pic. Is it a chapel. Or is it an antique book store?
Why were you mesmerized by this pic? Is it a secret message to someone you are looking for? Am I the one you're looking for? Oh, I do hope sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Please, please tell me more.

Comment from kahpot
"invited to stay long" I really like the way you have told/reminded us of how writing can be our release and how we can communicate our moods to others, be helped and appreciated with and for our thoughts and feelings, if I had to ask one thing it would be to make the font a bit larger
you know for us (old folk), very well done****kahpot

It feels like you've come to the "write" place, Lea. This poem is free verse and such a feast of words.
At its finest, FanStory lifts up our kindred spirit muses and encourages each of us to tell our story...
Just remember ~ the first reader you must please is always yourself! The rest of us will follow, if you remain true to your path!

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a rather magical write about how cathartic writing is and when we produce a story and others can identify with out plight, it feels very uplifting as we feel we have a voice and others have heard it. Your last few lines sum up the reasons why we post work on Fanstory where the community here is receptive to our ideas much enjoyed Lea, love Dolly x
