Haiku Sonnet
Waves of time changing
My awareness cries concern
Unheard voices speak
*
Earth’s agonies felt
Yet greed defaces her womb
Hope is not enough
*
Where is the saviour?
Politicians, companies?
They play with Earth’s trust.
*
We are the chosen
Voices rising in anger
Is there time enough?
*
Signs of earth’s last breath will come
Generations will be lost
(My inspiration for attempting this sonnet was Michael at The Poetry Channel. My muse was on my back with this one. :))
Stuff and what if... 
One can only hope this doesn’t come true!

So true! We see, we know, we fear, we hope, but we don’t act.

It’s like you have to get into a mini short story. My muse insisted I do it. Ha ha!

Any particular one? Calliope is my favorite. ☺.
Yes, that was how I felt about it too. Each related but could stand alone and the couplet as sort of a final argument.

No, I haven’t given my muse a specific name. Maybe one day I’ll find out. Still in a stage of self-discovery. 🙂

Such truth, and the picture goes so well with it. Sadly I think we are in sunset. Will the sun rise again?

Thank-you Mary for reading this. I am overcome at times with the lack of will from those in power. My muse convinced me to use my voice. 🙂

The feelings of the people are well captured here Olga. Forget politicians, business power and wealth, people action and people has to lead.

Hello Olga…what a beautiful poem. And I love the form. No rambling words… it’s “voice” is easily heard and one would hope taken to heart.

That one line … signs of earth’s last breath… it invokes a picture I cannot sketch. Resignation? Never. Tired? Yes. But still hopeful. Always hopeful.

Well I of course was expressing enthusiasm for your message–I share your concern that we need to change now before our window of opportunity closes.(hope I read you right) But I also enjoyed the flow of your haiku ‘sonnet’ and the words you chose.
