Spring comes early,
Snowdrops bloom.
Sunlight shines,
Inside your room.
Frosts no longer,
Snow no more.
Turn the heat down,
Warm weather in store.
Just remember,
This is not the norm,
Climate change
Is kicking up a storm.
While it feels good
It’s damaging deep.
Pollution is the problem,
The side effects creep…
Through ecosystems
And every nation,
So this odd, mild winter
Doesn’t garner celebration.
These are my brief thoughts about our particularly warm winter here in England. I do worry that people enjoy the lack of cold temperatures. I hope that this doesn’t make everyone less likely to push for change regarding climate change. For another poem about the climate, click here.

Thank you so much.
I wasn’t expecting the direction it went in but really enjoyed this. It is concerning how much people are praising warmer winters, it’s not a good thing!
Absolutely! Thanks for reading.
I know right? Been going out without a coat too!
It is fine but not good for ecosystems.
Beautiful poem about a very concerning problem.
Lovely poem Jamie. I agree, people think it’s all great because it’s warm outside, without realising it’s because of global warming.
You are a wonderful poet. The words you use are so beautiful. You are so talented and you are amazing
Thank you.
That’s not where I thought you were going with this but I appreciate it. It’s drives me crazy when weather forecasters in America say with glee about how warm it’s going to be during winter here. It’s not supposed to be a happy thing and you’re only reinforcing poor beliefs on climate change.
I hear so many people saying how the weather is unusual for this time of year, etc. and I want to just throw my arms about wildly as I remind them of climate change. Great poem!
Yes people like the warmth. I just want it to be how it should be.

Thank you so much for sharing this poem. you are great poet.
This was such a good one and really spoke volumes about this mild winter! For how much people enjoy this mild temperature its so so bad an unusual!
Yes it worries me.
Beautiful poem! You are so right. While the warm days in winter are nice, they come at a price.
Great poem! It perfectly describes today.
Great poem, and it speaks a lot of truth. Winter has been quite warm for me this year. Rarely had to use my electric radiator and my central heating at the same time this year. Like only a couple of days over autumn and winter. Huge change difference to how it normals is
It is sad.
I agree with your point of view, your article has given me a lot of help and benefited me a lot. Thanks. Hope you continue to write such excellent articles.
