Haiku 7 Environmental Poem by Eddie Roa

Haiku 7 Environmental

Rating: 5.0


Shark fins soup is nice
But it is vain indulgence
Save the maneater

A solemn moment
In a mysterious glade
Another tree felled

Apocalypse steeds
Gallop through arid tundra
Warming sodden earth

Waste water buried
Into deep and dark chasms
Toxic fumes now reek

A blanket of smog
Turns the land into slate gray
A cold night descends

Hummingbirds’ sad song
Plaintive dirge augur its loss
Evil haze spares none

Plummet like Icarus
Mount Apo’s regal eagle
Dead as the Dodo
