Our Current Climate / Poems / By AllisonHill A poem about climate change, made up of metaphors and clichés. The heat is on, we’re in full flow,Flooded by those gloomy facts,Drowning out our sense of calm,As clouds do not have silver linings. While hope evaporates we see thatThis is just the tip of the iceberg.Below the surface the melt goes on,And drop by drop we glean the truth.
