Its due yesterday
Once in a thousand years that was forecast
But Donad Trump pushed up the Anti
The foaming beast the devils chalice
That climate change is just pure fancy
A small amount just a fahrenheit
Seek to bring a deep depression
Amass dark clouds about
And THOR pick up his trusty weapon
Like a tale straight out of HOMER
A storm ahead the lookout shouts
That sail that bellows o'r the water
And Shakespear's tempest comes with clout
Add a touch of global warming
A typhoon...

A storm ahead the lookout shouts

And Shakespear's tempest comes with clout

Prompt: Hungry Fire
For my writing class I had 90 seconds to go off this prompt. No rules except using our senses and going where it takes us. I rather like how it turned out.
Scorched Earth, wheezing and choking. The hungry fire forges through, rapidly spreading like a fever. Emblems shimmer through the air, if not for tragedy, one could marvel in awe. But a ravenous appetite; so grim, so ghostly. Whistles escape the moisture withering into thick air. Screaming mother, she cannot protect her young. We taste the salt of her ash & tears in the winds blowing over town.

Laundry
I feel detached from my day to day.
Stress is a clear trigger for me.
Noise resumes,
chemicals are thrown from a worn box to an overused machine.
Vibration resumes, as if I'm on a cycle, watching life from inside,
as if I'm repeatedly hit by fast spins of hot water.
Rattle resumes, and it comes with anything where I have to endure grief,
whipped by a belt unintentionally within.
In my soft fabrics and clasps exists such fear of exposure.
This wee object,
best in its youth,
golden,
captured in time,...

temper tantrums
i.
quietly
she sleeps now
a dormant volcano
whose lava
has crusted
along the lifelines
of my heart
.ii.
awake
she is a flame
that embers not
and when her fuselage
explodes
she panics
the fire department
into cardiac arrest
.iii.
jah knows
i only know
how to calm
her convulsions
.iv.
every time
my sweet songs
kiss her flaming tongues
she simmers in my arms
her passions driven
to hibernated ...

After Earth
Ravaged lands remain,
among darkened skies.
Life is absent,
gone with the thoughts of the guilty.
Steam,
deficient in sound,
oozes from crags and deep craters.
Scarred,
cut with daggers,
of wind,
fire and depravity.
A soulless void,
unheard, unseen,
and unimagined.
The future won't come,
the present,
an ongoing prism of...
among darkened skies.

We speak for the trees.
What do you have left to live for?
This planet wants you and your kind dead as disco.
Worm food for your careless actions.
The mother that has wept for so long is pissed. The flames of your ignorance have no effect anymore.
Hold your breath as your submerged in a sea of hate. Gasp as the oxygen is forced out of those tar coated lungs.
Setting fires you can't put while you light another smoke.Set fire to them all.
This is the end of this shit planet. Branches forced up your anal cavity by those who shall take your place.
...

Titanic
I woke up to a 2AM clamor and thought it was the end’s beginning.
Seized in a hazy, undefined panic,
I remembered how I used to think
that if I were aboard the Titanic
and understood all that was to come,
I’d find some way to survive.
Fashion a raft out of a door,
Or build a pyre on the upper to deck to summon
ships otherwise inclined to pass in silence.
In that moment, as the water leaked in through little slits,
began to show itself at the ankles,
swelling my bedframe,
I understood why clever invention saved no one, ...

Plants, Soils and Oceans (Poetic Dialogue Competition)
Where has all the carbon gone
Long time spewing
Where has all the carbon gone
short term storage
Where have all the carbons gone
When humans burned the fossil fuels
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time ago
Where have the humans gone?
Bought new cars every one
When will humans learn?
When will we ever learn?
Long time spewing
Where has all the carbon gone
short term storage
Where have all the carbons gone
When humans burned the fossil fuels
When will they ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the humans gone?
Long time ago
Where have the humans gone?
Bought new cars every one
When will humans learn?

Underdogs
What do you know about being under the Mafia?
Can you describe the pressure, of His rule?
What do you know about being the underdog?
Can you describe the actions you will be told to do?
What do you know about the fear for getting marked by His cruel side?
Can you describe the fear, that your loved ones litterally can disappear?
What do you know about His industry?
Can you describe how it works?
He is not to be known or to be seen.
He, has the highest Rank, He control his dogs, and His Dogs...
Can you describe the pressure, of His rule?
What do you know about being the underdog?
Can you describe the actions you will be told to do?
What do you know about the fear for getting marked by His cruel side?
Can you describe the fear, that your loved ones litterally can disappear?
What do you know about His industry?
Can you describe how it works?

America's Capitalist Environment Recycle Joke
Now, y'alls good boys and girls be doing your best
to Save the Planet, right?
Recycling all those nasty by-products of our bottomless
consumption, right?
Well, the business of recycling is falling on hard times.
10% plant closures due to inability to turn a profit.
"Investors" shying away from The Cause.
Recycling has worn out it's trendiness.
Meanwhile, the plastics industry is forecasting a 400%
increased demand for single-use plastic items,
where as huge...

season changes
Hit the beach till there is time
Spoil the fun will be a crime,
We’ll soon have rain and heavy cloud
The sun will hide out in a shroud,
The cold will come bringing unrest
And all our lives it will congest,
The day will shorten out its light
And all the heat will lose its sprite,
We cannot stop the nature’s course
While all its things provide resource,
So make the best of winter too
And hope the cold won’t turn us blue.
Spoil the fun will be a crime,
We’ll soon have rain and heavy cloud
The sun will hide out in a shroud,
The cold will come bringing unrest
And all our lives it will congest,
The day will shorten out its light
And all the heat will lose its sprite,
We cannot stop the nature’s course
While all its things provide resource,
So make the best of winter too
And hope the cold won’t turn us blue.

Save us
so where's this weird world of ours heading?
what are we doing?
where are we going to end up
if we keep on how we've been for the last thousand years or so?
progressively building up..
how much more damage can be done
before we see nothing can be won
by only taking taking taking
from the land,
can't we understand
it's so unnecessary and
an abomination..
the way we let our world waste away,
how many more years
will we be able to stay before the day comes when
it's far too late..
maybe it already is
I...
