Poem of the Day #1

in #environment • 7 years ago

Hey Steemians! 

I love writing, especially poetry. I love reading poetry too. I'm starting a 30 day "Poem of the Day" ritual to encourage myself and others to write poems everyday :) Let's see how it goes! 

Here's Poem #1

The Ache

Shattering of glass Cracking of a pot

Hell freezing over 

Lava boiling hot

None can describe

The ache of the Earth. 

The human heart

Fist-sized pump

At the smallest affliction

Causes a lump

That still doesn't keep us

From killing the earth. 

Spring, winter, rain, summer,

Seasons all mixed up.

Global warming, deforestation,

Increasing sea levels,

Doesn't warn us enough 

To stop the ache of the Earth. 

When the lava has exploded

And hell has frozen over,

When the water has evaporated 

And the earth is no longer,

Is that when we will understand

The ache of the Earth?
