Oceans and Cities -- A Poem for the Sunday Muse
Angels are Busy Tonight
When oceans rise cities flood
Streets become paths of water
New Venice a thousand times
Unexpected near midnight
Climate Change Global Warming
Cities will flood people drown
Unpredicted Solar Flare
That straw broke the camel's back
Communications were down
Traffic was stopped world around
Came Flash flood Oceans did rise
People unaware of its coming
Angels helped in the cities
My angel stopped for a pose
People began to believe
Oceans rose and people drowned

It's not that far off either. Nice to read you, Jim.
Hey, it's been a great run. Don't be a stranger.
Yikes. Yikes. I just have this image of exhausted angels like bus conductors gathering souls into trains away from another drowned world.
The cities definitely need angels Jim. Thank you for being at the Muse each week my friend! Keep writing and stay in touch!
Going to miss you at The Muse .... certain we will continue to read each other often! Cheers.
Thank goodness for angels! Nice one.
Great poem Jim, I expect even angels have their limits ❤️
