Now we have Trump

I wrote this series of haiku in 2010 in response to Deepwater Horizon. 2017 seemed a long way off then.

1996
The Sea Empress holed.
Crude oil slicking north and south
Tarred the spring feathers.

2003
Heat-waves in Europe
Slaughtered old and young alike –
Bring on climate change!

2010
Katrina Mark II:
Deepwater Horizon spills
Poisonous record.

2017
North Sea in winter.
OPEC spikes the markets and
Ignites Armagedd-
