These are clever words and a fine post for the club. These world events seem to be happening more frequently and it is devastating and your last line is so appropriate, love Dolly x x x

Alarm bells are ringing but few people are taking any notice. It's almost getting to be too late. Well written Haiku and great presentation. A fine response to the club prompt.

No kidding, I think the "alarm" has going on for a long time. I love haiku and I have written many. Your message is strong. The satori line is good. I wish you could find a way to drop "the" in the first line you could go 4/6/5, and it would still work. You don't need an unnecessary syllable in line one. Just a thought.

Thank you, I thought about this and didn't feel good about "climate ignites" as it seemed to leave something unsaid, also thought about.
"our climate ignites" to maybe relate to mankind's ignorance, love the help, as always very much appreciated****kahpot

Hi Kahpot, a poem of truth. Your poem has high sensory appeal.

Of special note:
worldwide devastation
(the above is so true)

Vivid presentation. Good haiku 5/6/6 format. Well done.
Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer ~ Margaret

You throw a good punch with your opening line; my son will say, "The earth is burning.". Unfortunately, the alarms rang decades ago yet we're still sleeping.

A powerful poem with an excellent picture showing what is happening every day.

Another nice poem for Gypsy's contest club entry.

You chose a good photo to pair with your verse.

An alternative for your last line: bells (sic)

Mark

P.S. I wish there was a more neutral word for 'mankind.'

Hello, Kym,

Firstly, thank you for thanking me for leading the club. You did a wonderful job with your entry. Nature is angry and we are to blame. Global warming is a real thing that many people in government deny. We are having a tropical storm, Hilary, that is flooding many cities. I'am okay thus far.

well done!
