Solar Heatwaves Changing

 

Changing solar climes

Mercury rising in the glare

Dark side frozen falling

Just like a pub with no beer

A lifeless rock bereft of atmosphere

 

Next up, the evil twin

Always on the boil

Selfish carbon keeping

Cosmic heat without remission

Star stored nuclear fission

 

The third Rock spins

Summer nodding toward the sun

Seasons changing

Ice aged freezing

To heatwave-struggled breathing

 

Then Mars, the warring world

Of lifeless desert sand

Sol by Sol lifeless lies

Stretching cosmic beams

Weak Martian dreams

 

From planets five to eight

Watery sunshine wanes

Heat waved a long goodbye

Photons stretch to touch

Heliosphere ending

 

Kelvin-close in icy darkness

I’d dream of heat ascending

This Goldilocks Globe

Warm or cool by comparison

What’s a heatwave really?

The term 'goldilocks zone' should shock us to how suitable a situation our earth was ulaced in, despite the climate problems, and of course even more perfect when first made, and as will be when put right.

The IP this week is a 'sticky situation' which I applied (at my husband's suggestion!) to the heatwave. But we would certainly be in a very sticky situation, and actually unsurvivable if placed on any of those other beautiful planets! Rhiannon
