RAINFOREST PHANTOMS


The leopards listen to each noise
Of their surrounding sounds...
On steadfast feet they gently poise,
Resisting fearful bounds.
Perhaps it isn't time to run,
Like cowards fearing pain,
Or just like girls who love the sun,
Yet flee from falling rain...
The leopards like the spot they've seen,
It suits them to a tee...
They'll stay till others intervene,
Like phantoms on their tree...
The forest has its moody times,
Its fierce and frantic days,
Its pleasant passing sunny climes
And melting dew-dropped phase...
The sun shines through the trees above,
The clouds go gliding by...
And soon the moon will shine with love,
To grace the midnight sky...
The leopards lack for nothing now,
True friends in harmony...
Receiving what the Fates allow,
Like phantoms, fancy free...


Denis Martindale, copyright September 2009.


A poem based on a magnificent wildlife painting,
by artist Stephen Gayford. Google-search
gayfordgallery and 'Stephen Gayford poetry'.

Consider the UK Sky Digital Rainforest Rescue
charity appeal found on the UK sky-dot-com as
this explains how losing the rainforests destroys
the lives of those humans, animals and plants
in the name of progress for some, but not for all.

The partnership with WWF ended in September 2015...

SKYJAGUAR!

Rainforests come, rainforests go,
If some still have their way,
Yet if replaced, then more would grow,
Forever and a day...
That's why a noble hope persists,
Tomorrow's trees to plant
And each donation thus enlists
Its help when others can't...

Just think of England without trees,
In fifteen years from now,
Such waits the future overseas
If folly would allow...
Yet wisdom strives and wisdom saves,
Both Man and beast live on,
A rescued future path it paves,
Else all best hopes are gone...

So spare a thought, donations, too,
Conserve what could be lost,
Before there's nothing we can do,
Too late to count the cost...
The TV adverts help explain,
Rainforests have their worth,
Because there's so much Man can gain,
Let's rescue Planet Earth!


Denis Martindale, copyright, January 2014.


The poem is based on the WWF and Sky Digital
charity to save the Rainforest and 1 billion trees.
As explained in their skyjaguar tv adverts about this.
