The cuckoo's gone

Teasing a new poetry project on the theme of climate change....

The cuckoo's gone

after Anon.

Warming is icumen in,

We have gone cuckoo!

    Blow hurricane

    And fire in rain

And blow tornado, too.

Gone cuckoo!

Glaciers are a-calving ice

And with them rise the seas.

    Tidal waves slam

    And dams burst, damn!

They kill the birds and bees.

Gone cuckoo!  We've gone cuckoo!

Gone cuckoo!  Farewell cuckoo!
