Tony Hargreaves Poet Rhyme

Fire Flare and Charcoal Glow

double trouble on the boil    
earth bowels ooze devils oil
   
ancient rock and occult blood
darkest liquor thick as mud
cauldron charged to overflow
fire flare and charcoal glow
spirits rising from turmoil
circulate alembic coil
thus set free an evil spell
toxic breath creating hell

double trouble on the boil     
earth bowels ooze devils oil

fuming venom distillate
burn in air and dissipate
poison potions pour and spill
flora fauna for the kill
this alchemy reaching high
venting evil to the sky
ancient carbon haunting air
greenhouse gases everywhere

double trouble on the boil
earth bowels ooze devils oil

global warming melting ice
species rendered sacrifice
many mammals facing hell
from this reckless evil spell
without caution carbon spent
now new magic man invent
bury deep then sin be gone
down in devils dark dungeon

tenfold trouble on the boil
evil born of fossil oil

Ann Kershaw October 1, 2019 at 1:09 PM Really like the poem. Analogy to cooking up an evil spell and the 3 witches of Macbeth. A gritty caution for the destruction of climate. Like it. Tony Hargreaves October 5, 2019 at 3:29 AM Hi Ann. Many thanks for your comments and pleased you like it. Still working on it. Another reminder about the evils of burning fossil oil. Tony
