There is no future, because it never comes. There is only the here and now. I liked the humor in this poem. It really has a truth about it. This was an excellently written piece of poetic art to have read and written this response for... John

Oh, the message here is so true! Your approach to the subject enables it to jump right at the reader, shake him and make him wake up! Very nice work on this 5-7-5 poem.
I enjoyed it.

Beautiful scary thought expressed in this short poem. Sometimes a nightmare disturbs me someday the sky might fall down so I never dare to play with it. Beautifully expressed thought loved reading it and thanks for sharing.

just realised it was a 5-7-5 poetry contest.
as a writer of so called rhyme personally i find these partameters to work in very difficult so kudos to you. they are either hit or miss.
can you mind explaining the correlation between the picure and the poem? I read your authors notes and are still rather perplexed sorry OLA I just must be thick.
let me read it a few more times and take it in under the context I know i will eventually get it.
There's some pretty heavy metaphorical and cryptic lines going on here and I know its good

sincerely, dip

I'm definitely changing my style lol

    Thank you. The correlation between the image and the poem is that, every one is connected to nature (as you see in the attachment like fruit) and our activities individually or collectively will go a long way to affecting our environment and us

Excellent, such a clever and brilliant 5-7-5 contest entry, you have my vote for this one. If everyone was to do their part, all this would eventually heal itself and be safe for our children and their children. Good luck in the contest! xsx sandra

Great message here. Beating up the sky which is our shelter is dangerous. And those ingrates get punished (smile). We should appreciate what we've got, and evey morning say to ourselves: "There are so many things we should be grateful for." An interesting picture to accompany your words.

One little nit in your subject line:

Being an ingrate is deadly to ones existence and success

I think you meant "one's existence and success".

I get the feeling of Karma at work in your well constructed 5-7-5. Nicely said and the art work a very pretty choice for your work. Don

Your poem about the environment, made its point when you said "beating up the sky."

It has the 5-7-5 syllables.

Good luck in the contest.

Weird picture presenting this piece. I agree with the implication that we must take care of what we were give. That would be asking a lot from some of these ingrates living under the very sky we are talking about.
