Winter Fireball
A Global Climate Change Nonet
Humanity’s waste has left its mark
A scar on Demeter’s poor soul
Her wrath now trumps her sorrow
Melting frost into slush
Winter wonderland
Long gone, replaced
By desert,
Global
Fire

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Wow, this was a powerful poem.
This was so beautiful but also felt sad... Lovely poem Stephanie! I liked the nod to greek mythology too!
Whoaa! Powerful and piercing! A short but blazing reminder of our impact on the Earth. Mother Nature's fury in nine sharp lines—well done!🤗✨
