Kirbe the CO2.
The C is carbon and the O is oxygen. The 2 at the end of the CO2 means there two oxygen.
That what CO2 is which makes carbon dioxide. He lives in the atmosphere.
Kirbe is very busy. When the sun is shining on plants, he goes to work. Plants perform
photosynthesis which converts light energy to chemical energy.
The photosynthesis converts Kirbe to carbon hydrates, food for the plant, releasing oxygen
in the process. Now now. Kirbe isn't dead, he still at work.
When work is done, Kirbe is released in the atmosphere in several ways: Through
respiration performed by plants and animals.
Through decay of animal and dead matter. Through combustion of organic material that
produce carbon dioxide like cars.
On the surface of the oceans where water becomes warmer and through volcanic eruptions.
That a lot of ways Kirbe is released in the atmosphere. When time passes, so does Kirbe.
As Kirbe travel back into the atmosphere, he takes a long break. Or does he....
Nope, Kirbe continues working because it's a cycle that never stop. For its Kirbe the CO2.

Neil Halista Poem
Waddles the Water Cycle is a continuous movement of water on Earth so he never stop
working. He always busy working because Waddles has three major process.
When the sun's energy strike the water on the land and water surface, its time for Waddles
to go to work. The water evaporates adding gaseous water vapor to the atmosphere.
The sun sure make Waddles all heated up but Waddles need to cool off. As Waddles cools
off, water vapor condenses and eventually falls as precipitation (rain, snow, or sleet).
When plants have enough of Waddles, Waddles exit the plants during transpiration,
evaporation from the plant's leaves.
Now, when Waddles isnt held back by plants or bound by soil particles, he either runs off
into a river and streams or restores groundwater.
Waddles will reenter the atmosphere by evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. But
wait! There more! Waddles will never stop because Waddles continuously move water between
the land, bodies of water, and the atmosphere.
