The Weeping


Pewter skies
pregnant with moisture
pouring forth
acid tears
ever weeping
for her beloved
Mother Earth
shuddering with
the unchecked
virus of humanity

I like 'pewter skies' and the last four lines are all too sadly true...

Beautiful WR, those pewter skies pregnant with moisture... shuddering unchecked. Though, maybe we are less a virus, than just plain imperfect.

A lovely poem and I particularly liked your use of alliteration in your first three lines.

Nicely done.

"Pewter skies" ...those words describe the looming sky before a storm so well. Loved this piece.

So sad, so true, so perfectly expressed. Glad I stopped in via Poets Who Blog.

I love your header, absolutely gorgeous.
