Notes About The Poem

- Without Oxygen -

city life

                                             with colorful

                                             neon signs

                                             of aluminum


                                            exhaust -

                                            an asphalt jungle

                                            without charm

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 7/11/2021 9:56:00 AM 0xygen there is such a desperate need for it at present, we are killing our planet both cities and jungles. The word Oxygen for me as from yesterday holds an even more significant meaning - my friend's father became a victim of covid because in the last 40 minutes of his life the family could not source oxygen in time to save him. Yet another death, our cousin died 3 weeks ago and an employee of ours working from home died last Saturday, 3 people, one related in 3 weeks. hugs and love, Jenny Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/11/2021 12:05:00 PM - Terribly cruel, dear Jenny - In recent weeks, several covid-19 patients have died because hospitals have run out of oxygen ... it's a tragedy - hugs // Anne-Lise

Duke Beaufort Date: 7/7/2021 2:42:00 PM Let's hope we seen the end of fossil fuels for transportation, agriculture, and power generation soon.

Rico Leffanta Date: 7/7/2021 11:48:00 AM I wonder how Ilene and joggers can feel better after a walk/run in rush hour fumes? But cities offer young people more choices than a walk in the woods or in the surf. Good luck in the contest! Aloha!
