HAIKU
the land rises
an earthquake moves a mountain
barren waste
~
man-made pollution
the sixth mass extinction
new life evolves
~
boiling oceans
arctic wastelands melting
troubled polar bears
~
new life evolving
will mars be resurrected
dreamland visited
~
super nova
kills silently
vaporisation
~
golden meadows
wind whispers
country dancing
~
seasonal singing
oceans raging… surfers surf
the lone wolf howls
~
whales blowing
albatross glide forever
natural happenings
~
smoke inhaled
wrapped in paper
slow death
~
hunger moon
torturous February
deep snow
~
painted ladies
a wonder… a butterfly
beauty on parade
~
toad
in the hole
yummy
~
life
biological
diversity
~
confounded
every way but which way
nature lost
~
bright red frogs
natures warning… danger
eat… you will croak too
