CLIMERICK: A Tide Running Fast Through a Sound by Trevor Thorn.

 


Inspired by watching the tides from #Lindisfarne,the #HolyIsland in the North East of England

 

A tide running fast through a sound

Hints at just how much power could be found

In sea currents and flows

Where wise funding should go

So that vast terrawatts can abound.

CLIMERICK: Lying To Save Fossil Fuels by Trevor Thorn

 


 

Lying to save fossil fuels 

Is surely the action of fools!

CLIMERICKS:' Lower Emissions, Oh, don’t even start!' and 'Why Shouldn’t I Fly in a Plane?'




 










Today, two Climericks illustrating the attitudes of many of us in the wealthy West.


 Lower Emissions, Oh, don’t even start!

 By Abby Brook, Gloucester


Lower emissions, Oh, don’t even start!

It’s too inconvenient by far.

I don’t even like

Seeing people on bikes;

You won’t get me out of my car!



Why Shouldn’t I Fly in a Plane? 

By Kathryn Price of ACW*

 

Why shouldn’t I fly in a plane?

You can’t cross the ocean by train,

And I simply must

Take vacations or bust!

While penguin chicks die in the rain.
