Plant Rights Poem by O Anna Niemus

Plant Rights



My neighbor's yard is running the sprinkler
... dewdrops of grace

She's violating the water laws..
because the plants have rights intrinsically

and because she knows that trees
invoke rain
**
(Bayard Webster of the deforesting NY Times wrote
that each average size tree evaporates 42 gallons
a day of moisture (think what the redwoods do)
.. which becomes mist and then clouds and then rain)
