Earth tilt of NO MAY : Creative Writing

Thunder of combines- digging up dirt

The smell of black earth-

Dark cloudy skies, making it fifty

degrees outside

It’s May the twenty third, 2008

We have no sun shine-

again- all spring little- sun-

Woke up late,

to make coffee to wake

To see striations in the skies

strange cumulus

Moving polluting

with bacteria - rot

In round patterns

across the horizons

Showing- in every

direction-around the world

Our newspaper showing dark clouds over Washington

a rice shortage-

Its thundering outside and

around the world

An earthquake in China

Alaska rocking

the san Madrid fault vibrating upheaval

splitting the earth tilt

Typhoons, Tsunamis

too many disasters are occurring

Once shinny seas

now blooming

with red plums,

from nitrogen spillage-

people pollution

Killing, filling fish-

with mercury, arsenic

Causing mental retardation,

in ocean life and humans

Afraid to check the news,

to find too- much blues-

Hundreds of thousands dead- hurt in pain-

Millions and millions homeless

Americans- can’t pay their mortgages

Check my email to find,

twenty one downloads of nothing

Strange days of worries-

of things people in the cites don’t see,

they are too busy DOING nothing.

Rabbits outside, not doing mating dances

Birds fight over bird feeder seed,

competing to eat it

My garden is in ruins

The tractors thundering all night

Praying to till enough soil to plant fast

Food to feed the earth

Before it rains again too many drops

Of acid rain on every city-

Why am I the only one

Who can hear the earth moving?

Tilting, shifting in ringing sound

From sky and ground

And why am I the only one

who cares enough to notice?

We have NO MAY
