HAIKU POEMS ON CLIMATE CHANGE BY ROSALIENE BACCHUS



The inspirational story The Haiku Master by Takiko Morimoto (USA, 2014) set me on the path to writing Haiku poetry.
The featured poems were written during the period 2013 to 2016.



VENGEANCE OF HEAVEN



Mother Earth we rape

drilling, fracking, no control.

Vengeance of heaven.​



TOO LATE



Heated ice caps melt

Rising seas swamp coastal belt.

No stopping the melt.​



RAIN



Too much, too little.
Man trifling with the Ouija board
disrupting Rain.


RISE & LEAD



Rise, Grandma, the water is rising.
It's dark I can't see​.
Lead the way.


HUMANITY



Humanity, enslaved

by capital gone rogue,

facing extinction.​



IN DENIAL



Fires rage, no rain

children to our borders flee.

Upon us the storm.​
