You are welcome Lisa.

Great poem! I do not believe this is an all natural occurrence. I believe ozone depletion is a major cause. Money versus mankind...who wins?

Humans have so much to answer for for their greed. I was always told by my father 'never shit in your own nest'... yet that is what we have done to our planet.

China was caught by U.K. scientists still using the illegal CFC-11 (a greenhouse gas that destroys ozone.) This after China signed the Montreal Protocol! Why? MONEY

aaagh!~ It's just disgusting!!
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
Time is indeed running out! I personally think that the decline in our environment and many of the strange and catastrophic events occurring is our fault one way or another. We've abused our resources raping and pillaging the land of them, polluting our atmosphere and land because of greed. You're sounding the alarm on something that doesn't need to be taken lightly and that we've had a hand in creating. Great job and well done!

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for this review. I agree with your comments entirely about man's rapacious attitude to our world.
Comment from Richard J
Truly,
An impacting statement made in an appealing, eye-catching, evenly balanced form, with an excellent presentation, and not an easy task to accomplish.
Still, it's the message here that gives this piece its genuinely deeper value.
A world constantly in flux of tearing itself down and regenerating its own growth and change ... in addition to that which mankind adds to the mix.
It is said that we will not realize our maximum creativity until we've destroyed all that's been given us freely, and it's become necessary to create our own environment to survive.
An excellent entree to the contest that should do quite well.
Thank you sincerely for sharing! ~ Richard

I really do appreciate you very thorough review and interesting comment about having to create our own environment.
Comment from heavenempress
hi, nice piece of poetry and the skill that you displayed is excellent. I enjoyed the new type of poetry that I had never met before. Maybe One day will try it. Rich or rather strange vocabulary. Good image and well -laid out presentation. All the best. Excellent style

I am glad you appreciated my poem; thanks for reviewing it. I try to use different yet appropriate vocabulary to make it individual to me.
Comment from Lori S.
Very good. I love the layout of an hourglass. Such a great visual as I read about all this slipping away. And all the "mechanical" words at the top, grinding down to give way to all that will be left. Feelings and memories. Great job.

Thanks for your terrific review. I really appreciate that you understood the poem perfectly.
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
A very meaningful poem and informative post. The poem is certainly delineating concern about the environment and I must say in a picturesque format. Does Global Warming mean our Seasons will change. Does it mean that Canada will become Florida? We really don't know. Perhaps there will be more meaningful signs or perhaps nothing further will change. How can we know; how can we stop whatever is designed to happen with the realm of Mother Nature. Let's have a little faith in the future

Like you say in your review, how can we know? We can't stop Mother Nature but we can stop abusing her with our wasteful, harmful, destructive ways.
We'll need a LOT of faith in the future, it might be all we have left.

Agreed!
Comment from karenina
So sadly true...despite what Mr. Trump would have us believe. So clever to shape this like an hourglass--as time is running out for us if we don't' get together like the cohesive planet we are and turn our detrimental practices around!--Karenina

Thanks for your complimentary review. So many people have their heads in the sand (from the overflowing hour-glass).

Comment from Janice Canerdy
There are STILL people who don't believe that global warming is real!
They leave me speechless. Your poem is well-written, making excellent use of specifics to convey its environmental theme

It's incredible how blind and ignorant some folks are.
Thanks for reviewing Janice.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about environmental damage that we can do very little to correct, when the earth shifted on its axes, we cannot move it back to its original state, we just have to adapt to the changes.

Thanks for your review. We are having to adapt more and more quickly as changes happen.
