I found a place on the planet
where wildlife is safe and flourishing,
where trees and vegetation have taken over,
where there is peace
for forests and wild animals.
There, happiness and harmony abide.
Its name is
Chernobyl.
for Susan's prompt at Midweek Motif: to write a poem with a surprise in it. The animals of Chernobyl are benefitting from the nuclear accident. Their lives have improved. This says a lot about the heavy footprint humans have on the planet. When you remove us from an area, it flourishes.
I often think we are in fact aliens as we have no idea how to care for the planet.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is surprising! I enjoyed the video and the poem.
ReplyDeleteO, yes, that's a huge surprise! I sure hope this good news for animals won't be followed by many surprise mutations. Concise perfect poem. Scary. Cool.
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed surprising Sherry, a happy write. Thanks for dropping by my blog
ReplyDeleteMuch💜love
Surprising indeed! This is what happens when the humans are eliminated though I have the same fear as Susan's.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing out of "Share Noble" hiding in the word.
ReplyDeleteYes if only Animals could speak..I am sure they would have spoken for their rights.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is truth
Scary how true that is! We are the worst thing that happened to the planet...
ReplyDeleteThese animals are so beautiful and look so healthy...except they are not. They are riddled with radiation. A terrible reality.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are such magnificient creatures.💞 You are absolutely right, Sherry😬 "when you remove us from an area, it flourishes."
ReplyDeleteYes, the hidden radiation is doing its work. I heard on the radio yesterday they are now taking people on tours here, and you can buy mementos - hopefully not radioactive. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThat was a total surprise to me. Glad to hear some animals are having a better life.
ReplyDeleteA surprising place, indeed!
