welcome to quadrille monday at #dverse poets pub.thank you Sarah for hosting and offering such a succulent word as “ash” for tonights prompt.
Ashen faced, my life burns!
Ending my place of Tranquille existence.
Man started fires of annihilation!
Inferno cleaving through my worshiped forests.
My oceans boil in wrath!
At the pollution plunged into them!
Ashes of my labours drift!
Into the universe with my essence.

What a terrible war we have waged on mother nature! May we take the steps to save our forests and oceans.

So sad, but it needs to be said! I don’t see too much progress in the run-up to COP 26…

Mm, how lovely! The peals of the bells of doom ring clearly and elegantly, like a soapbox doomsayer crying out a litany of ashen tears. Delightfully foreboding – a chill ran through my body,
