I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

Guilty in the first degree. Premeditated murder of a planet.
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 😢
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 “
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 😢

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

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.
