Beryl Edmonds Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

The Rising of the Ocean

The Rising of the Ocean
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising 
Glaciers are melting as are ice caps 
Global warming wants some refining.

Sadly Earth is craving devising
Planets climate is reaching climax
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising.

Humankind must do their revising
For now is the time to up the act 
Global warming wants some refining.

Ensuing days are traumatising 
For future generations that's fact
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising.

To breathe we so need tree investing
Too many have been felled in the past
Global warming wants some refining.

Our world badly wants redesigning
Changes brought on must be made to last 
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising 
Global warming wants some refining.
