There's a fantastically scintillating project initiated by www.350.org where 350, 3.5 line poems were gathered in response to climate change. Why 350? 350 Carbon parts-per-million is a safe limit for our atmosphere which is dangerously above 390. Here are a couple of poems from the project, one by moi and another by one of my fellow teachers Maya Pindyck (
Locket, Master Friend Among Stones) who is a literary beast. Yay, environmentalism!
There we shall lay, scattered like ape skulls
Or clues in god's toolbox
Long gone the very matter that explained
What happened
Penguin
My love, lost, in sleek flaps
shuffling towards the ice sculpture.
Not a cruise, my love, just my love
mapping-- (--end of line-- space)--
