Destroying the village.

Whodathought?

(Not me).

That the same

people who

damaged the

world by

flooding it with

carbon dioxide,

now say they can

solve the problem

by flooding it with

radioactivity?

Snake in the grass – somewhere…

December 6, 2019December 6, 2019 by nomdeplume707, posted in ecology, gardens, poetry

The “Black Dog”

is the symbol

of depression.

The “Brown Snake”

should be the

symbol of

anxiety.

Eyes wide closed

Having an online

map of bushfires

in this state,

constantly

updated,

is good because

it keeps you

informed about

what is burning.

It is bad

because it keeps

you informed about

what is burning.

The drumbeat of hooves

December 5, 2019 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, ecology, gardens, History, poetry

Every morning

I awake wondering

if this is the day

a million red

horses of the

apocalypse

will come galloping

over the western hills.

Or beetles

December 3, 2019 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, ecology, evolution, gardens, poetry

I don’t tread

on ants

carelessly, or

thoughtlessly, or

recklessly, or

deliberately, in

fact I don’t tread

on ants at all.

November 20, 2019 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, ecology, gardens, poetry

Watching Spring

end and Summer

begin is like

saying goodbye

to visiting friends

and seeing an

enemy coming

up the street.

Also climate change

Cancer and

bushfires have

this in common –

the earlier you

can catch them

the better the

chance of a cure.

I awake,

each morning,

to a shudder,

of anxieties.

Stay safe, my friends

Don’t give me

a home among

the gum trees

when it is

bushfire

season.
