Hell hath no fury like a women scorned,
respect her powers, you've been warned.
Naturally inclined to protect the earth,
as if a child to whom she had given birth.
Gracious at times, but carries a big stick,
her bi-polar behavior is hard to predict.
Glimpses of beauty on any given day,
and then without warning takes it away.
Harmony between the earth and sky's,
must be maintained, never compromised.
Never considers the extent of human loss,
for we are just visitors and she's the boss.
When harming the environment again and again,
your starting a fight and Mother Nature will win.
Author notes
Option #4
When I referred to Mother Nature as being bi-polar, that was about her global effect from the North to South Pole. We play a large role in Mother Nature's mood swings. Obviouslyby damaging the enviroment we upset nature's balance. When Mother Nature makes a major adjustment the effect on us are rather adverse. I personally believe global warming triggers more catastrophic events than anything else. Heat is such a key ingredient in violent storms and in the formation of global weather patterns. It should be very clear to all of us that the earth is self perpetuating machine. Therefore, no matter what we do to it the earth will compensate and survive. The question is will we be here to see it?

This poem is awsome.. You done a great job...
I live in Oklahoma.. where we have the super cells..
I am a surviver of the May 3 tornado.. Your poem just tells it like it is.. these storms are way off pattern.. ripping up the wrong parts of the states
where these old house just was not built for that kind of stress... when I lived down in Florida the house down there where made out of center blocks poured with rebar and cocreet.. Huricane forces hardly ever blew thoses houses away..
Tornados up north is just not right.. when the Texans and Okies are prepared for them ....

Wrath! one of the most powerful emotions and probably the most potent and defined when i think of the Earth's emotions. Very nice. GL. -
Awesome picture
Good writing here too. instead of "sky's", I would have put "skies"; And on the last line, it should read you're or you are. Other than the nit-pickies, it was a great poem.
-
Okay, first that picture literally took my breath away! Amazing!! Very nice choice... then that first line was a FANTASTIC way to start the reader off... one of my favorite quotes, that is!
And then the fact that this is written in a sonnet form just won me over completely thank you s much for this. I truly enjoyed everything about it. 
-
strong write, good imagery and powerful ending, rhyme and meter was good as well, thanks for entering -Jacen.

Simple and plain images, easy language in an almost dialogue like voice, but still it drives the point home, and I too am a firm believer that we the human race are merely a virus, a pimple at that on Gaia's backside, soon we'll be popped. Well done good message and good luck in this contest.
-

Great poem here! I especially like this:
Hell hath no fury like a women scorned,
respect her powers, you've been warned.
*I can think of other aspects this could apply to besides 'Mother Nature' lol
This poem as all of your poems has great flow and your ryme is flawless! Great job! -
Perfect
Oh wow, this is exactly the sort of poem I am looking for in my contest. Being a nature lover to the endth degree, this poem really resonates deeply within me. You did a superb job in penning this one, with wonderful imagary, great flow and meter and such truth. Thank you also for your descriptive comments in your authors box. You are indeed most talented and a person after my own heart. Good luck in this contest. Love, hugs, sunny smiles and all my blessings. Marilyn -
No wonder I love nature, we could be twins. I love this. So much truth in your words (and my mind too,). Excellent write, good luck in the contest.

Nice poem :-) This appeared to be a sonnet, and they are usually written in abab rather than aabb form, but as it was set out, it was done well, with good flow and the rhymes worked. I liked the subject matter, all the more true at the moment with the way we've been abusing the atmosphere and we can already see changes in the severity of these 'mood swings' as you put them...I liked that. Nice poem :-)
-
I found it very clever and different. Great presentation. Love the rhyme which i don't usually care for
-
your wisdom and respect for the earth , I can show you are an extremely deep thinker on these kinda subjects and I really like how you reflected that in your poetry well done.
Much luv 2ya

Terrific write. I love the flow of your words and the truth behind them. It does seem lately Mother Nature has been a little more furious with us than usual.
-
IMPRESSIVE!
Impressive write.....your wisdom and respect for the earth truly warms my heart!
Very well done.
I agree with your beautifully penned sentiments....Mother Nature will win the battle...always has...always will.
How I pray that mankind will wake up to her vast authority one day.
Your poem has such a nice flow and rhyme within the powerful message. Good luck in the contest. Blessings! Tammy -
wow, mother of nature souds hot I should get her phone number.
-
Quite a bit of truth in this. We do need to help protect and take care of the earth. Mother Nature can't do it alone any more than God can. If we don't help, who will? Very good poem. I love it.
