Here's an offering to Poet's Corner from a Treorchy lady.

"Nature's Dream"

Some time ago I felt so low

I had to watch the trees slowly go

Mechanical monsters tore up the land

I felt as if they’d cut off my hand.

Each day I look to se what’s done

And as I look I want to run

I cannot bear the sight I see

I feel so bad, I feel misery.

All I see now are empty holes

Dug by the monsters coloured gold

No more birdsong filling the air

Just noisy machines working there

Changing the landscape, tearing up plants

Molding the mountain according to plans.

Mother Nature had plans, so what of these

She gave us the mountain, the plants and trees

But man has decided they had to go

To safeguard the houses down below.

So each day I awake to the sound of machines

Putting an end to nature’s dream.
