Drip

2019, Junior, Poetry & Spoken Word

Glaciers
deliquescing in the blazing golden sun,
like an ice cream cone plummeting away.

Water
scurrying hastily down the jagged planes,
an open faucet drooling continuously all day.

Drip
oceans rise,
iridescent ice melts,
and temperatures increase.

Destroyed
habitats vanish as wildlife grapples despairingly,
millions of species now gone… extinct forever.

Spreading
dangerous dioxide drifts, dancing daringly,
caused by steaming fumes from zooming vehicles.

Drip
descending gradually,
as puddles appear,
new spots of misery.
