Note:  This set of haiku below was inspired by an image of a sculpture by Isaac Cordal that I saw online, which was titled “Politicians Discussing Climate Change.”  If you want to see the image, please note that I didn’t ask for permission to show it here, but you can find it on this site:

Four Haiku About Climate Change (Inspired By Isaac Cordal’s Tiny Sculptures)

Drowning in Denial (The Nile)

©May 23^rd, 2014

By Vijaya Sundaram

Seawater arose

Around us, as we posed

Questions in the rain.

 

Did we do this, or

Was it a freak of nature?

Our questions gurgled.

 

We argued, as we

Asked our questions, which bubbled

Up from drowning lips

 

And as we argued

The last one yelled, “It’s not us!”

And then, we vanished.

Please visit and check out my husband’s website, theclimatemessage.com, wherein he provides information, and hosts essays, music messages and poems relating to Climate Change and other related issues.  These musical and poetic messages are coming in from all over the world.  The numbers grow daily.  My husband, Warren Senders, says that “Music is a Climate Issue,” and goes on to show us how.  Please visit, and leave comments or your own musical or poetic Climate Messages on his page, if you feel that our earth is something worth fighting for.
