    Alan,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. It is sad that these innocent apes get slaughtered for their babies. Man is so greedy.

Thank you for enlightening me about the orangutan. Your poem had great flow and perfect rhyme. I never understood why people kill animals for profit. Your poem taught me something, and I love to learn.

    Jaded831,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. I am glad you learned something. When I started out my intention wasn't to be educational, but the more I read on and their endangered status I knew they needed to be educational.

sad and compelling poem about the endangered Orangutan, the man of the jungle. I did not know there were 3 distinct species of Orangutan, where are the other two living?

    Jake,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. The other two are Bornean and Tapanuli orangutan. They are all from Indonesia.

Males seem like a lot of human males. :-) We steal the animals land and then bemoan their dwindling numbers.
We are a species of takers. Good writing. I am in a mood. Karen

I didn't know the orangutan was an endangered animal. Your poem tells a sad story and makes it clear that their habitat is disappearing leaving them with less space to call home. Thank you for this lesson on animal welfare.

This poem, Sumatran Orangutan, focus in on this "left-Hand, Clyde" star who is big and friendly (I guess) and being taken advantage of by humans. (shock)

Your poem is both sweet and heartbreaking. I love how you bring the little orangutan to life with its "rusty hair" and carefree spirit. Reading about poaching is horrible. The way you wrote it makes the message hit even harder. It's such a touching poem!

This is another sad poem, Sis. Everything is disappearing from the face of this earth, and soon, it might be us as well. A few who don't care destroy life for others.
Hugs, Carol

Excellent words about the beautiful orangutan. It is so sad that their population is decreasing. Your words alert us all to how we are impacting the loss of nature in our world.

    mermaids,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. Man and his greed are driving many of the wildlife to extinction or close to the brink. More awareness needs to be had.
