Great imagery , Carolyn, if earth was human it would be losing its temper. Good luck in the contest.

Indeed, we do... Mother Nature's in it for the long term. We could use a bit of the perspective as well. Love the turn in this senryu, Carolyn. Thanks, Gershon

You got that right! Imagine what a difference it would have made to this world if Trump had sent firefighters to Australia, instead of drones to Iraq to distract us from the Impeachment proceedings! Aloha! Rico
