Smoke pipes are sprouting
Far and wide like iron saplings
Spiking through her tender flesh

“Let the Orioles and Nightingales to stage Euphonious concerts on the radiating boughs Allow pretty bunnies and sweet little squirrels Trench and tickle my lush loam”. Very beautifully depicted. I love the “trench and tickle my lush loam”. You manage to sneak in some rhymes which spice up your work: sprouting, saplings, Spiking, Invading, and Building (all good action words in the present tense) . Then “ trough and trickle venomous straits/ Straight into ever loving heart/ When in distraught we”. The issue is a very serious one but you manage to present it in a delicate way that does not put off the reader in dismissing the consideration of it altogether. The first stanza is very enjoyable with all the descriptive words and images. It is a perfect introduction. The change in tone at the beginning of the second stanza enhances the presentation (The gullible victim, poor Mother Earth/ She whined and wailed in pain/ Implored the eminent Unknown) Changing the tone again and asking the question: What happened to thy covenants? My Lord) involves the reader even more into the discussion or complaint. Repetition of questions keeps up the interest and changes this into a personal conversation of which we cannot fail to be a part of. It’s as if we are really there witnessing the event” with mother nature standing on stage delivering her soliloquy. CONGRATULATIONS A perfect 10 without a doubt and with much praise.
Mother Earth is our Love given planet and we' re all free loading tenants. Whatever discourse is prayed upon it, killed and been thankful for it There be an urgent need to protect it from all of the above and whatever is so well expressed in your poem. Their inspires are to change human from the insanities of their evil ways. 'Words are, indeed, Mightier than the Sword' If Earth is to truly be the Mother of all upon it, then when will we not be appreciative of our existence? We among many, would Love to see more written with dedication, for preservation and the salvation of all life birthed upon it. Love and Peace Prevailing. ...louie

Dear Mr Sathya, This is a very nice poem with a thought provoking message for us all! Thanks for sharing. -Raj Nandy
'teray bin hor na kisay karni dhup wich chaan' truly inspiring
This is a very impressive and intensely expressed free verse poem, Sathya, flowing so well with outstanding imagery in so many of it's lines. It may have been the first time I have ever seen the obscure word mulct (to punish and or to defraud) , at least in the modern American style of English used in a poem. Carl.
MAGNIFICENT- A CAPTIVATING MOTIF EXTRAORDINARLY WELL CRAFTED AND BOLDY EXPRESSED!
very nice --really beautiful powerful vocab i like this: 'That I shall bear thy seeds in my womb Hatch them into herbs, shrubs and trees Wear their greens as my attire And adorn their flowers and fruits as embellishments Let the Orioles and Nightingales to stage Euphonious concerts on the radiating boughs Allow pretty bunnies and sweet little squirrels Trench and tickle my lush loam' +++++++++10 as always regards anju
The natural creation of Mother Earth is slowly decaying through mans need for this so called modern world. Beautifully written. Leaves a mark on this planet for people to read back and remember. Give you 10! . Best wishes Suzan Gumush
