Poème: Le paradis perdu

English Translation

Paradise Lost

Once upon a time, in a blessed forest, there lived an exotic bird with dazzling feathers, who led a wonderful life.

He built his tower of love patiently, every twig had its place, every leaf its importance.

Once upon a time, in a sparkling forest, there was a tree with a thousand leaves, welcoming a flotilla of fireflies.

They had the power to lighten up the soil and the sky, their magic spreading everywhere!

Once upon a time, in a majestic forest, there lived an innocent Joey, frolicking in his cozy sleeping bag.

With a naive look and stars in his eyes, he saw life through rose coloured glasses.

Once upon a time, in a sleepy forest, a cuddly Koala, cradled carelessly.

With his hug tightly wrapped around the branches, he seemed to be clinging to life itself.

Ah! What a beautiful sight to behold!

Alas! What a pity! Everything is suddenly annihilated!

What an ordeal! Their home engulfed in monstrous flames!

What a disgusting act! Forsaken by an ungrateful generation, their ashes scattered on the ground.

Once upon a time, there was a glorious forest, now destroyed by human preponderance.

Let us break the narcissistic ropes that choke our planet and find our Paradise Lost!

    A hugely important and key topic brought to life. The poet has used vivid, vibrant and emotive language to drive home a very serious topic of grave concern to us. We have but one earth and we need to love it and respect it. Well portrayed Siyona. Here’s to Paradise Regained.

    An amazing poem! Keep it up, Siyona! Very well written. It’s sad that we, the human race have become so selfish and don’t care for the forests and nature!

    One of the rare qualities that a poet should possess is to be able to say something and make the reader visualise… That’s what this poem is! Amazing!
