Our sphere without love
how do we live life complete
seasons of duel droughts...

Sink or swim
Sually; summoned snakes shake
The seen shark under the sea
Same wet that dry the floods to cover the droughts....

Moans, sleep deprivation,
Groans across our great nation.
Blame all dumb inventors, 
Droughts, floods, some mentors!
We'll vanish on timely wings,
Faults saving daylight brings!...

Legs in mud; head floats;
Oriented toward Light;
Throbbing with delight;
Undaunted by floods and droughts;
Symbol of enlightenment.

Plant seeds of kindness.
Nurture them with hope.
Tender with positive mind ness.
Be grateful when buds poke.
For spring is almost over,
soon summer droughts begin.
Remember all that matters is
kindness in the end....

It's true,
oceans worldwide
are swiftly on the rise,
as our glaciers and ice caps melt.
Global warming is causing climate change,
fueling forest fires and droughts.
And it is time sceptics
accept the fact;
it's true....

Floods coastal and inland
    Droughts across the world
  Rising temps, melting ice
    Tsunamis at us being hurled
 
  We clamor for climate action
    Searching in vain for consensus
  Yet we scoff at the message God's sent
     ~ Time for us all to repent...

                                Winter's 
   like summer: 
                            Droughts here,
                                                tropical storms there;        forests are

                    BURNING        ...

Parch of droughts,
relentless drowning floods.
Crops of the fields dwindle,
leonine storms roar stronger,
rising heating seas.

People and animals suffer,
as the globe warms.
A burning sun on high bakes,
migration of birds askew-
our mother earth pleads to
be renewed. ~...

Runs and walks
Hoots and toots
Corners and highways
Low and behold
My inkpot is finally full 

The droughts have been long and cold
But it finally rained, 
All behind the sunshine
My inkpot is finally full

Sitting here
Notepad in hand
Feeling all writey writey
My inkpot is full...

Droughts, floods, hurricanes, cyclons and fires 

Do fear, in our hearts, nature's wrath inspires 

Man though thinks nothing is wrong

All believes to chance belong 

Must wake up before life on earth expires!

I move to a new place – 
from the desert of me
to the oasis; from the 
valleys I have seeded
to the peaks I have 
learned – though they
blossom when we shower
in our droughts hotly 
burn – 

“No substitute for God's
word!” said the Dove
to the Phoenix, both far wiser

than any chirping garden

Endless blue skies home to gulls on the wing
   I'd trade a lifetime of winters for a bee's gentle sting...
Parched earth begs the debilitating heat to subside
   Were I a bird, far away from summer droughts would I swing

Doubt. Fear. Par for a world
of quakes and shakes -- 
droughts and flakes
upon the mountains
contrarily bring
fountains to the 
desert bakes – separation
has bound us together -- 
the world a reflection
of man's ambient Light -- 
we abuse such gift of
Might – then blame God
for what is wealth of freedom....

Rain
By
Tom Wright
8/15/01

Rain, pelting on brown leaves, 
Causes premature falling.
I contemplate, droughts reprieve, 
and night sounds calling.

Night sounds, that to a Creator rejoice,
So, while still among the living. 
I too, begin happily lending my voice,
For rain, that God is giving.

You,  
friend,  
that rise  
imposing 
and vigorous.
Waved by the wind.
Inclining without being defeated.
Shaking your leafy and green branches.  
Small drops of rain with which you are blessed.  
Storms, droughts, fires; you have always survived.  
Only one could.   
Machine  
Firewood
Chainsaw
Axe  
Ash…  
Progress...

Hey!
Can you see that 
Sorrow, pain, stress 
That darkness like painter ink
That echo like abandoned palace
That droughts like cursed farm
Time is moving slow and slow 
Hey!
Is that love?
Are sure is it,
Are you?
Sometimes it's doesn't matters 
It's not supposed to be real 
And You know am in deep sea
Am drowning please, help me
I just wanna float....

Will be some all ,
not before a later but through a hater
cried  people  be got into the crowds
but coward deeper sea there at the droughts . 

Won’t  seem to be felt soft 
but a believer
as the  day’s  brightness lost
but not forever .

Evil rising kisses the cold dark of   “one faced”
that a smiling liar when seen 
and “a glassed doer”  what keen 
on some all ....

“What is the use of a house if you haven`t got a tolerable planet to putt it on.”
Henry David Thoreau
****************************************************************

Global Warming

what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly
for droughts to occur oft and anon
for flash floods to recur time and again

Floods and droughts
What is it all about?

Vigilance is in dire need
It’s time to watch the times
And take heed

“We haven’t been that bad”
Some may say

We’ve passed unforgiving laws
And looked the other way

Now we’re using ground water
And digging wells

Our so-called good intentions
Have failed

Treated sewer water is being processed
Mother Nature will have us drink our mess...

Nature—Lord of everything
its blizzards and its droughts

Talking back to a hurricane,
you whisper as it shouts

Your treasured possessions lie in wait
for floods to take away

That rumble heard beneath your feet
to swallow as you pray

Those things you grow and seeds you plant,
the locust comes to claim

As tidal waves begin to form
—you powerless to blame

(The New Room: November, 2021)...

Before you bloomed for me alone,
You had to taste the bitter rains,
And face the heat of scorching droughts,
Until your thorns grew strong and sharp

Before I felt your petals bright,
And gently held your slender stem,
You had to suffer aching frosts,
Until the warmth of Spring began

Before my heart could swell again,
With everything I thought I'd lost,
You had to grow through darkest nights,
To know day's welcome dawn....

TIME TO ACT  ,TIME TO ACT
NATURE TURNING VIOLENT
SNIFFING STRANGE  COMPOUNDS
NOT  FAMILIAR  WITH AS  FROM  
CREATION.
CHANGING  FORM IN  DESPERATION
WANTING TO SURVIVE
FLOODS,DROUGHTS,MELTING ICE
MORE HEAT ARE THE RESULTS.
NATIONS UNDER WATER
LIVELIHOOD  DESTROYED
LOVE ONES DISAPPEAR 
DRAWN IN WATER , KILLED BY HUNGER
DEHYDRATED BY HEAT.

TIME TO ACT IS NOW , NO NATION 
WILL BE SAFE  .NATURE IS ANGRY
CLIMATE   IS   CHANGING...
