Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?I don't believe poetry can save the earth, however, I understand your passion. what poetry can do is influence people to make changes, for the better. |

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?Yes and no, poetry continues to keep peace on earth; however, a pen and pad can't keep the earth from dying. |

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?At this point I don't think anything can save the earth...it isn't the earth that's bad, it's the people ON earth who have destroyed it... |

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?Poetry was never meant to save the earth. It is one person's observation, however skewed, of his/her own universe. Poetry and art beautify the earth, but will never save it. |

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?Let us look at the question before we look at posible solutions... |

Re: Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?(You are so Ted Nugent-y)..Never mind saving the Earth, I'm having a hard enough time saving money, or saving coupons or saving my ass from being fired or bored... these kinds of questions are so delusional...no offense...If the world was all pink and sweet and "SAVED", no one would have to come up w/ poetry to translate all the BS into in the first place. Maybe you should ask if poetry can save our own little individual worlds, to which I would say "Yes" it has saved my world many times..not to mention my sanity.Down w/ cliche question "Ted" lol Quote:

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?Poetry like any voice can make a difference if it's not read upon by blind eyes and spoken to among deaf ears. Mankind has proven itself to be the most threatening, self indulgent, and destructive creation to set foot upon this planet. It's time for a cleansing. We rape and pillage Mother Earth stripping her of her natural resources while poisoning her lifeless soil that remains. Our divinities stare in disgust and rage at the damage and destruction we have caused. We are parasites who are eraticating every other species on the planet. We take without giving, and populate without thinking. We are a time bomb set to explode and the countdown has begun. Can Poetry Save The Earth? You're asking if mankind can save the earth. Lets ask the Watcher of the Trees. |

Re: Can Poetry Save the Earth?Points for the Wordslinger |
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
