COASTAL EROSION ~ A Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

COASTAL EROSION in the UK ~ because 

OF the extensive coastline is a very

ACUTE PR0BLEM in ENGLAND and

SCOTLAND ~ WALES and N. IRELAND 

THEY ALL suffer from erosion !

AS SEA LEVELS rise due to CO2

LEVELS DOUBLING ~ melting ice caps !

 

EVERY TIME  the CO2 rises ~ temperature

RISES ~ ice melts ~ sea level rises and

OCEANS crash further & further inland

SO HOUSES and fields and roads all fall

INTO THE SEA !  Can anything stop this 

ONSLAUGHT of our COASTS ?  Only by

NOT RELEASING INDUSTRIAL CO2 ! 

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN

        I am an environmental consultant, doing primarily EPA permit applications for air, and water, as well as recycling. Teaching environmental protection is so important!

          THANKS CHRIS ~ Yes the weather was excellent all week ~ 65F and no rain. More houses are in danger some are holiday homes but some are SENIORS who have retired to the COAST and they lose everything ! The houses in the picture will only last one more year and have been vacated. Hope you had a good week ~ loved the positivity in your poem ~ Heavenly Hugs ~BRIAN @@@@@@@

                A warm welcome home to this lovely poetry site Brian my friend - a sad state of affairs that your verse highlights regarding erosion.- the more folk are brought to an awareness the sooner something will be achieved to reduce this onslaught of industrial CO2 -

                    Wow, this poem is so revealing not only for the U.K. but also for Puerto Rico. Excellent poem and the color, too. Blue is my favorite color.
