Mighty are the trees though trembling
Hollowed are the branches bare
Focused upon Saturn’s bending
Mother earth and her children stare
Storms from blackness strike and weaken
Fires from hell let forth their wrath
Cinders fume their hearts unyielding
Mother earth shields her children’s path
Cooling rocks of hardened sulphur
Spew out fury in retreat
Ashes bury countless memories
Mother earth embraces defeat

I write poetry/prose/stories/short stories/verses for children/sketch/and have 6 chapters of a novel sitting there like that half eaten trifle in the fridge or bottle of Jack Daniels because something makes you afraid to eat it or drink... right now..
I am a proud Geordie from England's northern hemisphere and the beautiful city of Newcastle upon Tyne. I live with my lovely husband who came all the way from sunny California just for me, and my favourite animal, Bobble, our dog.
I am a member of Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth and wish we could all do more, especially today, when such a lot is wrong.
