Great imagery , Carolyn, if earth was human it would be losing its temper. Good luck in the contest.

Indeed, we do... Mother Nature's in it for the long term. We could use a bit of the perspective as well. Love the turn in this senryu, Carolyn. Thanks, Gershon

You got that right! Imagine what a difference it would have made to this world if Trump had sent firefighters to Australia, instead of drones to Iraq to distract us from the Impeachment proceedings! Aloha! Rico

Having Mother Nature to comply with the given theme is an excellent choice, Carolyn. It is so true, we do try her patience!! Good luck in the contest. Hugs // paul
