The signs are there, so are the warnings....but pleas often fall on deaf ears. Unfortunately, many of those who are in a position to help most are tied to other agendas. ~ Congratulations on your merited win, Constance. Regards // paul

Each haiku an image of decay and destruction of earth. Together your linked poems--an urgent call for action. Succinctly and effectively delivered, Constance.
