Red Moon Road
On the road
California, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Oregon, California
It’s hot
smoky
with a surprisingly large number of red moons
and a surprisingly small number of pee breaks
My dad gets a text
a fire just east of Ashland
is raging
My brother and I bombard him with questions
Is it in Ashland?
Will we not get to see Oklahoma!?
How will we get home?
Where should we go?
but the wind is blowing east so it does not affect our plans
this time
The jet stream is going on strike
Holding a sign
Cool down the Artic!
It loops it’s way to who knows where
causing fires in the northwest
and floods on the east coast
It’s time to stop red moons,
smoke,
fires,
the loopy jet stream,
to stop climate change
once and for all
This time we go through Ashland
see Oklahoma!
go the way we planned
This time we are safe
This time

l was researching about fires and ideas just grew. I wrote a poem to share the knowlege I gained and my personal experience with our changing climate.
