5-7-5 poem on carbon footprint4 total reviews
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is a very strong cautionary tale. I hope the reader is drawn in to reflect and be brutally honest about their attitude toward this issue. This is a tribute to all who have gone before us and continue to fight against extinction. They are doing their part, it is time for us to itch in by pitching out all the fossil fuel projects. Well thought out.

I admired your message about climate change in this 5-7-5. (I think it would be better to stay with the three-line format, and I believe you need another syllable in the second line--perhaps, the addition of "fast".) Good luck in the contest- Joan

They formatted this for the contest. For some reason it?s categorized as fiction. I will try to fix it once again. Thanks for reading..

Your writing prompt accurately describes the environmental crisis the world now faces, regardless of Trump's actions and his total disregard for the facts of climate control. You definitely informed us with your entry.
IMHO, since you used caps in your first and last lines, consider a period after your second line or add a squiggle and uncap 'choose.' Sure I read CO as two letters, but if it was C-O, other readers might more quickly 'read' it as two letters. Maybe an alternative is CO-2, or CO2?
... different pathS?
