Climate Change

by Tara Lynn Groth, USA

 Venice is flooding. 
 Its streets are already rivers; 
 how can Venice flood? 
 
 Snow falls in Vegas.
 
 Gray polluted clouds 
 climb the coast of Asia.
 
 Polar bears play
 don’t
 break
 the
 ice
 
 while the grand marshal 
 of the penguins’ parade loses time.
 
 Squirrels can’t find acorns.
 The oaks are trying to warn us.
