Global Warning

April 23, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the environment, in honor of Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22, and Arbor Day, which is celebrated on April 26.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A poem about our responsibility to save all of life from our destructive ways:

Global warning,

Likening us to lichens

Or pairing us with pandas

Because we are bone of one bone

And flesh of one flesh:

Life can end.

What would we?

Are we driven to be driven?

Revved to rev?

Need we what we need?

If each cell is a cellmate,

Now all may lose all,

Given that life is not a given.
