Yes I agree Sherry. Surely seeing what is happening in Europe right now should wake up more people. Europe has always been way ahead of us in the US with EVs, Wind Energy, Recycling and so on. Yet they still cannot escape Nature’s wrath. I think there is little hope at this point for future generations 😢
A scathing write on human’s dereliction of duty to earth. These lines for me are particularly powerful”
“regurgitating denialism
with each turbulent flow
of rampant wrath “
This is incredibly hard-hitting and poignant, Christine. If only mankind would come to its senses .. I resonate with; “A forest, green and succulent succumbing to heated, fiery ire.” Sigh..
Thank you dear Sanaa. It actually started as a metaphor when I began with the idea but then I saw the fires in the UK and across Europe and I knew it had to be about Nature’s plight 😢
The tears of the earth, indeed. A powerful poem, Christine.
Thank you Merril. The situation makes me feel so helpless.
You’re welcome. It does me, as well.
Yes. This is the truth. And still so many, especially global leaders, are in denial. It is hard to fathom the inaction.

Nature cries out in this powerful write. This made me pause…. “regurgitating denialism” and the last line stings.. as it should.
Thank you so much Mish. I appreciate your kind words ☺️💕

Thanks Lillian. Sadly, not a popular poem but it came poring out of me so it needed to be written, at least ☺️💕

Another strong write from you Christine… I especially liked your close:
“The tears of this earth become
blood on our hands”
Great lines…
Thank you Scott! Much appreciated ☺️
Guilty in the first degree. Premeditated murder of a planet.
