Global Warming
Think... of global warming
Think of a world that is always warm
Where heat is held captive
Like a prisoner
Think... of the fresh clean air that is no longer present
But is replaced by the smell of burnt gasoline
Think... of how strange it would be,
if we had an extra Summer season
replacing the cold Winters
Think... of this world
With no more green,
but instead the color of dry, pale yellow
Think... of half of the world
submerged in water
With the several thousands of organisms without a home
Think... of that giant blue sink for carbon dioxide
Overfilled with it
Unable to take it in anymore
Think... of those beaches
That you go to to relax
Turned into a boiling pot of hot water
Think... of those full dinner tables of food
Covering almost every inch of the table
With bowls and plates
Now only with several plates
Think... of the dry crop fields
Completely useless
Unable to grow
This is what global warming really is...
I like how the poem talks about a problem today and how it is connected to everyday things and is relatable to the reader.
ReplyDeleteI like how your poem shows us what global warming is and how it is going to affect is in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI like how your poem addresses a present-day problem and tells us the results of it, while still keeping its poetic form.
