Bleak
and glowing
The
weather forecast is
Bleak
and glowing,
Burning winds
with blowing bits
Of the
cities now dust.
Having a
season or…three
Of nuclear
winter
Is good
for you and me
Oh, you
suffer from
Seasonal
depression?
That’s
too bad
I wish
for you
That there
was another
Color of
sky to be had
The new
back to school
Fall line
of coveralls and
Lead lined
suits
Aren’t too
bad
They are
saying grey over
Hunters orange
will not be
Just another
fad

Wry and wonderfully inventive-a fun read about a not so fun topic.
Loved this before when you posted it and love it now :-) Great job!
You know I love this already. Glad to see it here.
oh heck...hope that will never happen...you write with a good bit of sarcasm.. maybe that would be the only way how to face it.... great closure as well
Well written.....with overtones of sadness for the future.
ha...the hunters orange got me...there is a bit of feeling in this one not too many survive that nuclear winter....
So much to think about! Nuclear winter - a frightening thought.
I just hope this shit holds off long enough for me to get outta here first. Sorry. Self-centered that way.
chrs, this is AWESOME! in so few words you describe it all, what life would be like, with just the right dose of disgust.
one of my favorites (not the topic, just the poem)
love

I know this is out of context, but I love the prospect of the sky radically changing colors from day to day.
"I wish for you
That there was another
Color of sky to be had"

Excellent.
It was very rthymic for a nuclear winter!
I think sometimes we all have our own personal nuclear winters.
Poetic - yet twisted. I like it. :}
I love the sarcastic tone of this!
I thought it was dark and funny. Nice!
fun lines,
awesome humor and talent.
