In the UK for every FIVE square miles
we have ONE mile of rugged coast !
With the rise in sea level we really .....
are under threat. Love to live near the coast
with lovely views of the sea and the ships.
BUT - when coast erodes - the houses go too.
Some second homes - some owned by Pensioners !
House built too near the coast are worthless
no one wants to buy then or even rent ......
You don't want to end up - lost in the sea !
We don't build too near the coast any more.
How can we stop it - houses under threat ?
We must stop global warming - ice caps are ......
melting causing the sea levels to rise !

- Comment from author about the poem: The UK is an Island and its coastline (including Islands is 19,500 miles and its area is only 94,000 square miles which gives it a 5 to 1 ratio of area to coast which is one of the highest in the world. Lots of coastal areas are under threat from sea level rise. I'm a Conservationist and really worried many houses fall into the every year. Please comment - thanks BRIAN.
