Gaia’s Retribution? poem

/ Robert / 9 Comments

Fluffy whites drift in soft blue calm
Exuberant hues flit, dart, dissolve
Hark-humdrum breeze-borne scratches

Scree-each

Thud-um mote-wrenching avian bolt
Scramble, skitter-stampeding tetrapods flee

Twinkling hubbub of city dwellers
Almost deafening-mezzo-staccato of ‘see-hearing’
Warnings flick past-too fast to catch

Cacophony of cataclysmic crashes
Searing scorching flashes frazzle
Man’s monumental marvels toppling
Towering engineering tributes tumble

Wake of whipped wild waves
Global whirling-denial, anger, sorrow
Useless bastion vestiges wither

Stunned-echoing, silent darkness freezes
Eons answer: indiscriminate hell to heal

Perspective poem

Perspective
Asteroids stand sentinel
In universal time and space
Transporting
Subliminal Saturnalian aliens
Exuding ecstatic euphoria
Seeking
Selecting hosts
Propagating
Phoenix phantoms-
Forever forgeries

The above emanated from a photograph I took of raindrops on the outside of a restaurant window, last Sunday. After fiddling with filters, asteroids appeared in my minds eye.

I read a couple of times, traces of human DNA have been found in meteorites on Earth.

My husband just told me asteroids have been found to have building blocks of life.

Imagine them helping to create glitchy lifeforms – the poem in a nutshell.

Time for Rebirth

Birth rates explode, highways choke, buildings soar,
Man’s pollution adds to global warming,
Nature responds with electric storming,
Power struggles between nations bring war,
Plundered resources stripped from the Earth pour
Economies fall, others are booming,
“There’s nothing wrong the data is zooming!”
Always the call to provide more, more, more

Evolution speaks it needs a new deal,
A time bomb is ticking to bring rebirth,
Help needs investment, yes it can be bought,
There’s mounting support from the around Earth,
Our planet needs time to renew, to heal,
Is it worth bothering? Surely we aught!
