As I wrote this poem I caught myself being somewhat intense and, although I originally alluded to climate change in the last lines, I personally prefer the humorous version that jumped into my mind as I wrote! However the serious lines do have a ring about them.
Beyond double-glazing
Seagulls swoop silently,
a fast boat rumples the sea.
A poem stirs…
But the defrosting fridge
calls louder.
or…
But the sound of ice caps melting
in my fridge draws me down to earth.
