In the face of overwhelming evidence that we humans are doing tremendous destruction to our planet, often reflected in unpredictable weather, we continue to continue doing the same old things without changing either our behavior or attitude.

Snowstorm at My Sister's Home

Bakerville, Wisconsin

April 15, 2018


 
Snowy Spring
 

It snowed again the other day,
when spring will come, I cannot say.
Weather sure seems out of whack.
Like the courage of conviction I lack.
 
I long to see spring flowers grow,
robins' return, their red breasts show.
Daffodils and crocus in bloom,
the scent of lilac fills the room.
 
With a cold sharp wind and drifting snow,
so many in a hurry with no place to go.
The Arctic vortex continues to show.
When it comes to weather; you never know.
 
We know the cause but do not act,
stuck in our ways and filled with tact.
We do not question the status quo,
just go about our business, as if we know.
 
We are much smarter than the facts.
Convenience determines all our acts.
Cheaper is better in a throw away world,
use it or lose it is our mantra told.
 
So, if the summer is way too hot and dry,
we'll just order more air conditioning on the fly.
For we have no time to see what we are doing,
got a fad to catch on the way to our undoing.

A very beautiful poem with a serious message...
Here in UK we thought Spring had arrived last week...
I was at the beach with 25 degree Sunshine...
today barely 13 degrees, damp and cold and raining....
The ups and downs are weird....
We cannot afford to ignore the obvious signs any more...

Snow is fun,
Keeps us on the run,
Buying milk & bread,
Cause stores running low is our dread,
Pretty soon we will be bitching about the hot sun,
Hopefully we won't get overdone...-e-

I don't know if climate change has anything to do with mercury light bulbs that no one disposes of properly or gigantic car batteries, but I do know we had better come up with ways not to destroy our soil and water. That is of course if aliens aren't already taking the water. I don't know, I'm just saying.

Indeed, I saw it in the news from afar and now read about it in this enchanting poem. Surely everyone longs for spring, especially when it is slow to arrive. Well done, Ron.

A very good piece of writing....Of course humans never learn.....
Of course we will eventually pay the price......eventually......
But....In the mean time we have no choice but to experience flip flop seasons and experience the 4 seasons in a few days time....

Good writ, Ronald, when you consider #45 slapped the face of environmentalists around the world, denying climate change, it's obvious the only way they will believe is by...the sky finally falling.

I believe that those of us who believe that mankind is responsible at least in part for climate change try to do our part to help. Our current POTUS has rolled back numerous regulations that were put in place to protect us, and all in the name of the almighty dollar. SAD.

Hi Ron !

Well spoken !

Heard on radio yesterday about station in Milwaukee playing Christmas
Music. Listeners were thrilled !

Watched a MPTV special the other day with Bill Nye
the Science Guy. He's been travelling & speaking & debating
about Climate Change. Old guy like me, but he's still thin.

We will all be "pushing up daisies" when the coastal seas all rise.
Good Luck to our descendents ✌️🌈🍀

Ah, more indubitable evidence of climate change, but without converting many, if any, deniers. If only more would accept fact over Fox fiction, (and maybe even stumble upon your poem) how much better the mental health of the uninformed would be. Beautiful poem, BTW.
