Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Pleas of Her Children

Children, earth, water, sky, wind, fire,

Came to Mother Nature to plead

Their case that it was their desire

That because humankind indeed

Was now such danger to them all,

Mother Nature should end this threat.

Would she please heed her childrens' call?

Or else the worst would happen yet.

Her children said they could unite

And wipe all of humankind out.

But other life forms in such fight

Would wrongly be killed too, no doubt.

Mother Nature heard childrens' pleas.

All humankind were turned to trees.
