Climate Change Poems - Poems about Climate Change

CLIMATE CHANGE

Our greenhouse gases pour and pour
And now we see the latest score.
Something’s gone wrong with atmosphere
As rising temperatures we fear.   
But we’re clever and we’ll fix it
It will not drop us in the s--t.   
So still we dump more see-o-two
That disappears into the blue.
Carbon we keep on burning it
Because it brings

FIRE

River makes its final clunk
Between
Hills
Rolling boulders like turtle shells
Empty of their mouths and hearts

River bent
Flailing legs and neck
No longer reflects
The sun and moon
From water’s absence down its back.

Turns her terrible brittle head
From me
Teeth gnashing on the spools of willow

To her memory
When mud was forest
Footsteps
Croaking with frogs and dazzled with dragonflies
Ringed in a halo of cold

You'll get Yours -- Tooth for Tooth

12 when I wrote this, from the perspective of a mushroom.

My gills grasping at air, but the grass is not too far;
My scales glimmering stupidly to shine through watered tar.
And in the gaseous tarmac world, I shine here far too bright,
And oh, the air, too stale if for my gills to get it right.

I long

Climate Change

The Earth is speaking soft and low,
In melting ice and winds that blow.
The fragile world, we watch it break,
With every storm and every quake.

The oceans rise,the forests thin,
A quiet battle deep within.
The rain that falls, the tides complain,
Are lessons hard for us to learn?

The rivers dry, the mountains mourn,
As nature's heart is bruised and worn.
But

Above and the beauty we make ugly

Above is the place 
I wish to race
Above is the face 
I wish to grace
Where  people dreams age
And where thunderstorms  rage
The wildest  dreams take courage
And where you  feel the stars stage 

Above is the Term 
That we use when success has arms
The word that manifest richness alarm
Reminder of bellow and its germ
Reminder of the bare

LA is on fire and I’m a sitting duck

My skin crawls as I watch a hand,
disembodied,
reach yet again into the Tollhouse bag.
Bright, artificial yellow. It burns my eyes.
Countless chocolate chips are shoveled down my gullet
as if crumbs to a wretched, starving creature.
I’m only jarred out of my sinful haze by catching si th r of my reflection.
That face staring back at me -

what comes tomorrow
an element of doubt
Earths rain wind and fire

Doom's Day

Once the earth was green and alive. But now it is dreary and dying. What is left is deforestation, logging, fossil fuels, industrialisation, more fuming factories and pollution. The air we breathe was once fresh, the oceans and rivers clean and uncontaminated.  We are now on the verge of extinction but no one is

Human Not Climate Change Poem Two

Learning to love another as is, that most definitely,
Is within our power.
Thinking that we can control the weather, the seas,is totally bonkers!
We cannot even make it into a Church on a bright
Sunday, nope, not even for one hour.

And what of simple communication, right here at
Poetry Soup?
We have our own rules, the most famous, “ I

Cracked dusky humid industrial decay
Perched crows survive death of abandoned Chevrolet
A testament of humanity’s constant change
