Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Mother Nature's Revenge

The Ring of Fire sits ready to erupt
Perhaps Mother Nature has had enough

Of pollutants invading reservoirs
And oil-drilled coastlines, sands coated by tar

Sea creatures poisoned by hazardous waste
Trash left on beaches by people in haste

Sea oats destroyed as construction proceeds
Turtle hatchlings wandering toward manmade beams

Whales wash up and expire on ocean shores
Battleships litter the deepest sea floors

With thinning ozone, sea temperatures rise
Igniting rage in Mother Nature’s eyes

Volcanoes, tsunamis are her weapons
Earth’s last days may be man’s time to reckon

Jack Horne January 4, 2012 at 3:46 PM Indeed - very thought provoking piece, my friend

Daver Austin January 4, 2012 at 11:59 AM I Have a lot of catching up to do. Been cleaning house - ten cats make a mess. I wonder if people really are aware of what could happen to this planet? Probably, like me, people try to keep an even keel, by not dwelling on the dangers. I believe you are doing your part by pushing the dangers at those who will read and react in some way. LOve, daver

Ravindra K Kapoor January 4, 2012 at 9:33 AM With love best wishes for a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2012...Ravindra

Ravindra K Kapoor January 4, 2012 at 9:31 AM A brilliant piece of writing from your crafted pen for creating an awareness of what we are doing with our Mother Nature. The madness with which we are spoiling the nature will bring only a fatal calamity for the mad mad world much more faster than what the man has calculated. My good wishes for your grand entry. I have opened a Music Channel on U Tube. Just write on Google search 'Ravindrakk1' & hear my one song and one poem I have placed so far. Hope you will leave your comments on my channel
