Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

Coming Soon

The sun is shining on High
Whilst every throat is bone-dry
Though water is sought
There's none to be bought
Our eyes are too dry to cry 


*Much of the nation's fresh water
resources will be spent this summer
extinguishing wildfires

Terry Flood June 10, 2021 at 3:05 PM A serious, serious problem Rico. But I’ve got it figured... we should dilute the water. Easy huh? Hmmm... if it were only so. Sharp thinking Rico. Terry

Ilene Bauer June 10, 2021 at 2:00 PM a rare sad poem from you, rico, but you've made an excellent point here. we are destroying the earth and not enough people in power care enough to do anything about it...

Jan Allison June 10, 2021 at 11:18 AM sad situation Rico ... and man if often to blame for the devastation caused by these fires:-( hugs Jan xx Rico Leffanta June 10, 2021 at 11:44 AM The Trumps of this world are not concerned because water evaporates and returns as rain, but the rain mostly falls on oceans where seawater is grossly polluted by trash, especially plastic. Not a rosy future for grandchildren!

Jenna Logan June 10, 2021 at 11:09 AM What a pity the world environments are in such disastrous shape. Rico Leffanta June 10, 2021 at 11:42 AM The shame is that government is not smart enough to use sewer water instead of potable water to extinguish fires ......
