Award-winning author and Mesa College creative writing coordinator Scott Starbuck shares four poems
His climate blog Trees, Fish, and Dreams also of note
- Recycle
- politicians
- into nameless moonfish
- inside their mothers,
- teachers
- into students
- of students,
- businessmen
- into birds
- saving skies
- flying places
- thought
- impossible.
- Laugh Out Loud Café
- (first appeared in The Raven Chronicles)
- is so quiet it makes history museum
- seem like carnival ride.
- “What’s up with the name?” I ask.
- “Previous owner,” I’m told,
- and think of bad storms
- that change coastlines,
- Titanic lifeboats
- leaving half full.
- Ancient Forest
- (first appeared in The Analog Sea Review)
- People stare at iPhones
- but what about listening
- to voice of sea,
- geese migrations,
- salmon splashes,
- cedar arms in wind,
- like ages before
- when men and women knew
- quench soul hunger
- first thing in morning
- before saying anything
- to anyone.
- Oceans Away
- people are affected by what you do, think, feel, believe.
- You toss your computer, and Chinese people get sick
- from lead and mercury.
- You think climate change is a hoax, and Marshall Islands sink.
- You feel entitled because of your hard work,
- and people everywhere starve.
- You believe this poem doesn’t matter,
- and are reincarnated as a cockroach.
