Imagine a Dead World

Imagine if all the krill Beneath the ice shelves were dead. Millions plus millions of krill Fodder for ocean’s creatures: Penguins, walrus, whales. In the end all will die and the ocean Will be a poorer place for all. Imagine if all the trees Would lose all their leaves for ever. No Autumn splendour, No fruit, no place where to hide. Would we not be living In pure disaster? Imagine if there would not be any wind. No music to inspire, No words to adorn the arias, No emotion on men’s faces. We thrive on emotion. And what is emotion if not poetry? We simply cannot live without it. 20 January 2021 Placed 2 Can You Imagine - Any form Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France
