Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Cats Are Swimming In the Seas

It is snowing in Kansas. Florida has an earthquake.
A tsunami in Texas, global warming gives us a shake.
Weird for all of these countries to depend on a lie.
Global warming has come midseason this fateful July.

Dogs are raining in the Rockies. Cats are swimming in the sea.
The world is upside down, topsy turvey, how crazy can it be?
The ozone layer is almost completely and utterly dead.
Lie down child, close your eyes, rest your tiny little head.

Flowers and grasses are the things of the past.
The last sixteen trees are dying, and I mean rather fast.
The wise ones are on space ships, heading to sky-wonders-gate.
I would have loved to be on the last transport 
but we were five minutes too late.

Jeff Connelly December 13, 2019 at 11:41 AM Ouch Caren. A total definition of why not to be late lol. But I know it's more then that, but a captivating poem indeed. I was prompted by the title to take a look, and I'm happy but or sadly that I did. I love the twist of words of raining cats and dogs lol. Have you ever heard of the Georgia Guide Stones Caren? You might want to take a look; as well as the murals painted on the Denver, Arizona airport walls. Mind blowing. Thanks Caren. Caren Krutsinger December 13, 2019 at 3:45 PM I will look them both up now. Thanks Jeff.

M. L. Kiser November 24, 2019 at 6:43 PM It's terrifying what we have done to our Earth, ourselves. Caren Krutsinger November 24, 2019 at 11:44 PM It makes me shudder, embarrassed for us.

Tom Cunningham November 22, 2019 at 2:13 AM Frightening Caren, mankind causes most of these problems, he will pay the price. Good luck. Tom. Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2019 at 6:53 AM I do not mind paying the price, but I do not want my grandchildren or their children to have to pay the price. They did not cause this insanity.
