So It Snowed (A Poem)

Woke up to snow

And what do you know?

The pavements were white

And the morning so bright.

With a chill in the air

And hat over my hair

I trudged down the street

Taking ‘oh so much’ care.

It is nice to see snow

With its effervescent glow.

It is right for the season

And there for a reason.

Yet some have soon claimed

Though they need not be named

That is means climate change isn’t real.

Well, you know how I feel.

The presence of snow

Is quite seasonal, you know.

With effects of El Nino

Every four years we cool…so?

The Earth is still warming

But we may find more storming.

Extremes are expected

If the climate is neglected.

Climate change is real

But we need to do a deal…

In Dubai we need more action

So the fight can gain more traction.

Take A Breath And Think – Poem

Today I have written a poem which is based on gut feelings. I want to encourage everyone to take a breath and use their voices at a time where sensible, level voices need to be heard over angry ones.

Take a breath and ponder,

All the crazy in the world.

The last time I thought about it,

My fingers and toes curled.

But think about it nonetheless

And try and take it in.

The world needs clever thinkers

To ensure changes can begin.

A lot of things are thoughtless

Knee jerk reactions cause most wars.

Pollution comes from thoughtlessness

Meanwhile Antarctic ice shelves thaw.

As anger drives decisions

And feelings drive divide.

You need to take a moment

And carefully decide.

Will you sit and watch the chaos

And allow for things to spin?

Or will you make a choice to fight

To turn a corner with a grin?

Only clever thinking

Will help to steady the divisions.

Political clear thinking

And some really tough decisions.

So vote for those who care

About society at large.

Don’t allow the ignorants

To easily take charge.

Think about the climate

As it steadily decays.

Use you voice and thinking

To make a difference. Don’t delay.

Terrible Turmoil – A Poem

At this sad time, as we approach Remembrance Day, there is a new fire burning in the world. This poem is about the terrible turmoil that is boiling up currently. It is my wish for peace and stability as soon as can be arranged.

Time to remember

The wars gone by.

To buy a poppy

Ask ‘Why did they all die?’

Time for reflection,

About the world we are in.

That we can stay caring,

So no wars can begin.

But sadly, as we’re hoping

Something tragic has unfurled.

An anger that is tearing

At the middle of our world.

Discomfort and despair

have reared their ugly heads

With people from two places

Removed from their beds.

While I wish

Our nations’ politicians

Would call for peace

And not supply munitions….

I can see

A growing trouble

We need to stop this

On the double.

Final Thoughts

I am a strong believer in dealing with things by talking about them. My poem reflects my wish for peace in the world. Thank you for reading my Terrible Turmoil poem. I would appreciate your thoughts.
