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 :)

Hey Vie. If only we could. And I'm not sure what the top 100 is but thank you lol

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

July 6, 2022 at 11:27 AM

It is a problem indeed. Thank you for visiting my friend :)

The weather has been getting hotter and more intense with each passing summer and we see the effects on our poor little birds. You tell a whole story in just 3 luminous lines , I pray that global warming heals as we heal, one good act of repair at a time, Much love, Vie xo

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.

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.

June 26, 2022 at 12:06 PM

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

June 25, 2022 at 8:18 PM

Ooh. Devastating indictment there, FJ, and congrats on POTD. ~ Gershon

June 26, 2022 at 12:05 PM

Hello Gershon :) Thank you

June 25, 2022 at 5:56 PM

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

June 26, 2022 at 12:04 PM

Good advice Brandy! Wish there was something they could do as well you know...

It is definitely something we can see and feel as individuals. Thank you Jennifer.
