never again
never again will i
be able to see
the majesty of the
orca fin
swimming in the
sound and playing
with her children
while belly-flopping
salmon.
never again will
i see the bald eagle
soaring overhead
with the only intent
of being himself and
gathering prey while
basking in the glorious
sunshine.
never again
will i have an
oregon silverspot
land on my shoulder
hitching a ride
as i ramble along
a barren path of
evergreen.
never again.
For National Poetry Month and the Writing Prompt of Poetic Asides (never again) and NaPoWriMo
Sad. Are we saving what remains? I wonder who are we killing — them or us. Thank you for this very thoughful piece 🙂
Thought provoking poem as it brings to light the dissipating changes to the beauty of nature. Great write.
Wonderful poem. I wish I could have your ‘never again’ experiences just once.
Never again
will i see
the same
blue and
green:(
