Hi FJ, More power with a few words, but the right ones. Yes, no matter what humans do, they cannot fool nature. Nature provides the results no matter what. - Gail

Congratulations on making it to the top 100 with this beautiful strong awareness poem of global warming. Those poor birds, wish we could cradle them to our hearts and free them from all ills. Keep at it, with love in your heart dear friend :)

That's really tragic.... Global warming and climate changes are biggest threat to life on the earth. May God help us

the problem my friend is those of us who see the problem can only change the problem on the margins...I'm afraid in the long run we are doomed to suffer nature's wrath

Fj Thomas

Hello FJ Thomas, yes each year it is hotter. Some birds build thier nests in proper areas. Others build thier nest where ther is no shade. So they suffer from the heat. Enjoy your day my friend.

Darlene De Beaulieu
Date: 6/27/2022 10:23:00 AM

Hello FJ Thomas, one bird built a nest in a hanging plant near the front door. There is no shade there. The mother bird looks like she is wilting away. I feel badly for the mother bird and her babies. Enjoy your day my friend.

Fj Thomas
Date: 6/26/2022 12:06:00 PM

Sadly it is also affecting birds mid migration now; hopefully things will ease for them. Thanks Darlene

This time of year certainly brings *extreme* temps. Poor birds. While working outside, it is best to go inside often and stay hydrated. Your thoughts caress softly around me. Congratulations FJ Thomas, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
