Oh... to be pitied Humankind
For begetting child swifter
More able than itself.
Confused head, haggard body,
They do not comprehend
How summer sun can embrace
But in mere hours autumn cloud;
Plenty of moons that wax and wane
takes Mother Nature, to
blanket sun with cloud.
But now winged birds we have
Aircraft ever nimbler than
Man or Mother Nature ever be.
And bewildered and confused
By jetlag, mankind now
Slave to its offspring,
Struggles to comprehend
What seasons be.

What a very deep and profound poem this is; I read it quite a few times, always finding something new; the message seems to be one of despair and there is a tone of the American-Indian here for me - really, quite superb poetry.
Always kind thoughts and smiles across the miles from ,

Is this deep and profound? I sense irony myself... and amusement. Maybe that's just me; amusingly and ironically shallow.

Hi Star, your are right, so is Linda, though, there is perhaps a bit of irony in my Winged Birds, but ultimately also a bit of regret, man's creation overtaking man..
