Global Warning
The moon was
Roughly
Blown off kilter
Like a silver white
Balloon
Torn free from a
Young child’s hand
Still clutching
Like
Some perfect sphere
Or silver florin
Floating
Slow but high
Across the skies
Elsewhere
A child
Is now crying huge
Pre-spring tears
Each hauled from a
Dew pit overflowing

Warming (in title bar) or warning (title in text)? A fine write Neville.
Thanks Hawkeye... not only for checking in, but for checking my spelling too

An impressive title which drew me into its powerful body - versed with lots of stings this outcry for listening ears and a warning to read over again Nev - so into my favourite list.
thanks a zillion Fay and that's one helluva lot more than just a lot or a bundle n stuff my friend...
Neville
Wonderful intriguing write Neville.
Andy
thank you kindly Andy sir
Neville
how, regrettably - Poignant
these words read, dear Poet Supreme
'Elsewhere
A child
Is now crying huge
Pre-spring tears'
hundreds of children already, murdered
in Ukraine
such wanton, disregard for life...
if reposted
I'm sure many would relate
with how current
these words seem..
a Great write!
