What eco-poetics taught me

 

 

Obligatory Evolution

 

When changes are made

To the nature of a place

Weather’s high temperature

become the climate change

Affecting the landscape of the earth

 

All this changes made us happen

Some species survive it

Others don’t

Dinosaurs no longer exist

Humans appear

It is part of the natural cycle of Evolution

We say,

Overtaking environments

We are,

Expecting animals to accommodate

to our strange habits

Shouldn’t we be considered

Invasive species?

 

This poem summarizes the essence of Eco-poetics, which is poetry that embraces the environment. Taking this course was an amazing experience. I am very thankful to our instructor Len, and cannot wait for the rest of the semester.
