MISTY MORNING
Foreword
The deep impact of climate change is seen across several places on the globe. Thick and heavy layers of mist have replaced blue skies on winter mornings. Senior citizens desist from outdoor activities and are forced to stay indoors. Vehicles crawl the misty lanes, and the pollution pushes the AQI to high levels.
Thick veils of spewing mist
Several layers make the gist
A chilly winter morning call
Pervading the misty sprawl.
Visibility fades into depths below
Dense fog outlines the valleys glow
Pollution spreads deep and high
The atmosphere makes birds shy.
Vehicles crawl through misty lanes
Traffic is slowed by nature's reins
Morning walks are a venture low
Under the mist, apparitions grow.
Elders stay in shelter's keep
Scarce oxygen, the lungs weep
Strangled light, a diffused sun
The misty aura, a spectral fun.
Human health stands compromised
The cold veneer prevails all around
The deep impact of climate change
Is affecting lives on a global scale.
