the key and the kite

met the light of the heavens

and the end was nigh

Thanks to Linda and her SoCS KEY challenge.

WE are the key! Even if Ben’s kite story is apocryphal, climate change is REAL.

Climate Storm v. Storm Windows

November 15, 2019January 28, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

She wondered whether the storm windows would hold. They were meant to keep out bad weather, not … well whatever was falling from the sky. It was funny she used to think the end of the world would come later. After she was gone. Not when her dreams were finally within her grasp.

It wasn’t fair. She had done everything right. And now. Now the sky was literally falling.

Lost in thought, her mind barely registered the hissing as the bubbles burst through the window pane.

As the drops burned through her flesh, her mind screamed “It’s not fair!”

Thanks to Carrot Ranch for the inspiration for this 99 word story.

Climate change is real and it’s going to destroy us if we don’t change our path.

Burning in Plain Sight

July 9, 2019January 28, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

as we spin a tale

the beauty of youth turns foul

burning in plain sight

Thanks to Colleen’s Poetry Challenge for the opportunity to shout into the wind about climate change!!

Today’s challenge was to write a poem using synonyms for the two challenge words. I used “beauty” for pretty and and “foul” for ugly.
