This is a good poem written in 5-7-5 poetry format, for the contest entry.
A short form poetry written with good imagination and thoughts. It conforms to the rules of a 5-7-5 poem.

Taken with the note, this is well said considering that it
is an entry in a very narrow contest field. I am not sure the dash is essential to meaning, but then, does it any harm?

    Thanks for the constructive review. The dash makes it a compound word, which carries the message along with the other verses

This post makes the reader think about the message. Great use of syllables. Good to see you managed to get a rhyme in there with sky and by. Good luck to you in this contest:)

Very true you cannot destroy your shelter and have it.
This writing has a great many nuances about it. Any one can take it the way he likes. I prefer to take its positive meaning.
Do not destroy what might destroy yourself.

Your poem is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
You make a strong point - far too many people "beat up" our environment without considering the fact they are destroying their own shelter - excellent imagery :-) Brooke

A novel way to express the damage we are doing to the environment. Beating up is right. Nice rhyme with sky and by. Dire warning with crushed.

A beautiful 5-7-5 poem! How succinctly you tell the consequence of one's thoughtless actions on our environment! Lovely rhyming too! Many thanks for the delightful read, and all the best for the contest!

The haiku gives me a message of protecting the earth better, as pollution is humanity's bad habit. I like how I can see the sky see revenge in the final lines as the quick poem still gives off a strong sense of conscience. Good haiku.

Beating up the sky
Forgetting it's your shelter
You may be crushed-by

This is a thought-provoking poem. I particularly like your first line "beating up the sky." Too few people worry about our environment until it's too late. Good luck in the contest.
