Whales eating plastic,
Turtles entangled in trash:
Feckless humans play.

There is no Planet-B
The Natural Resources Defense Council has created a petition for President Biden. I signed and made the following edits to their copy. I invite you to sign the petition as well. Feel free to use my edits (if you like the changes I made) or start here and make your own, or just sign with the copy that is already on the NRDC petition. Either way, please sign and/or share with others who can sign. The time is NOW to take action, no matter how large or small, to preserve a climate that is habitable for sustaining life on Earth.

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

This haiku is my first post on Vocal. I'm glad they had the contest - it inspired me to join so I could write something to contribute....and now I plan to write even more! Thank you for visiting! What is one thing YOU are doing to ensure the waters stay blue on our One Earth?
