In my hometown, climate change has led to frequent heat waves that have long diminished the water flow of our creeks and streams. I wish for my poem to depict the story of our dying creek and our joint-efforts as a community to revive our creek and ultimately save our environment. Our creek is a cherished gem in our neighborhood, and for as long as I can remember, it has provided a safe space to relax and connect with nature. However, I wanted to emphasize that with the increasing impact of climate change, future generations risk never experiencing its beauty. Through my poem, I wish to highlight the need for climate action and I hope to motivate others to join hands to protect our environment. I believe that together we can continue to preserve and restore nature for future generations to come.
