WARMTH

A problem we face every day of our lives

The heat that we feel from the sun light.
The smoke from cars, trucks and factories
Makes too much of carbon dioxide for all our trees.
The build-up of carbon dioxide in the air Causes the ozone layer up there to deplete.
Trees can’t photosynthesize fast enough To build the ozone layer right back up.
The thinner the ozone layer gets each day,
The more we have to pay, pay, pay.
We have to stop the pollution of carbon each day,
Or we will regret it someday.

The root of the trees still intact with the ground,

Like a plague passed through a town.
A place full of life, every species all around,
Turn into a place of corpses and no sort of life.
The increase in heat and the shade we seek,
Is caused when the cutting of every tree we meet.
Makers of carbon run the street each day,
No one knows the price we have to pay.
Less resources due to the heat that causes drought,
Making us import for all about.
Too many smoke from the factories we build,
Those are the things that will get us killed.

Spray cans and batteries we carelessly throw away,

Have harmful chemicals which are let out each day.
We doh think we do this each day,
That causes all these problems we face today.
These chemicals can weaken the atmosphere,
That’s why it is getting hotter every year.
This is affecting places around the world,
It is even melting the ice-bergs.
In Antarctica the ice is melting really fast,
And drought is killing all the grass.
The sea level continuously rising every year
Flooding in low land areas “geezs” people live there

The government is trying new things to help Jamaica,

Like solar panels, tree planting and compress gas.
These things are used to reduce carbon dioxide gas,
Which are made from our trucks and cars.
Compressed gas is released to the country,
Because the reduction of carbon is a big responsibility.
Environmental clubs is made in schools,
To show children to follow government rules.
Like an earthquake not knowing when it will start,
Will cause destruction when it pass.
Climate Change is something we have to face,
To make this world a better place.

The government providing bins for we to use,

Still there’s garbage on the ground in our classrooms.
They tried their best to fix the problem,
Like recycling bins, but we not using them.
Trucks with flies rome the street each day,
To extract garbage, from the places we stay.
The government providing all these service, for our country,
Yet still the place is so filthy.
Government rules is that compressed gas we should use,
To stop the emission of carbon in the air.
They also said we must plant lots of trees,
For cooler places, makes cooler breezes.
Bins are used, to put garbage in,

So why people is not listening??

Acting like theirs no bin in their house,
Then they wonder, how ah get flood-out.
Like a new born, knowing not what a bin is used for,
Throwing their garbage not in bins, but on the floor.
Bins are hear, for us to use,
We have them in the streets, homes and schools.
Some learn from their mistakes, some don’t appreciate,
The life we make from the risk we take.
Empty vessels watch on, waiting on the day,
The day they are cleaned and life goes on,
A day they will remember, from now on

A battle we are losing, which changes the world,

Forget about the environment, just to achieve a goal.
Life on the ground, was standing up strong,
But cannot complete with heat all day long.
Dead low lands, fills with water real fast,
Because of no grass, and no place to pass.
The earth cries on its hills,
And cover the houses which we build.
Burst veins wash close-by houses away,
That is a wrong place to stay.
Knowing not, the pain life is feeling, where they stay,
Doing all these things they do each day.

If continued it won’t be nice for us,

For this is a problem we have to stop.
Trusty bodies in homes each day,
Stock up on water every day and prey.
For this to stop they have to change their ways,
How they treat their country and the place they stay.
Trusty grounds not suited for growing crops,
Tears from clouds fall, sadly for us.
Liquid will cost as much as silver and gold,
What will we do?
But it til we grow old.
Everything is connected someway somehow,
So we better know what we are doing from now.

For all species to survive on the earth,

We need to stop this dangerous epidemic growth.
Less carbon dioxide in the air,
Will increase the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere.
Like a clean blue sunscreen placed on the earth’s skin,
The heat will fine it had to get in.
Green grass dance in the cool breeze,
We can now grow crops and plant trees.
Roots keep the land up firm and strong,
There will be no slips, this time around.
Stop global warming we must do,
To save the country, our lives too.
 ANALYZE

For the purpose of the analytical section, my reflective item will be used, which a poem is
entitled “warmth.” The poem was about global warming and its causes and effects, it also
showed how it affected Jamaica. The poem also included what are the causes of global
warming in Jamaica and how to reduce it. And it also shows how to reduce your carbon
footprint.
My poem will be examined in the two following areas: communicative behaviour and
attitudes to language. Communicative behaviour is where I used symbols in my poem. These
symbols for example “the heat”, giving the reader an insight on how the sunlight feels. Also
“the sea level”, the word sea level emphasizes on the amount of water in the sea which
increased by global warming. And other communicative behaviour is “garbage on the
ground.” which shows an image of when people don’t dispose of their garbage responsibly,
giving an image of garbage on the ground. Also “place of corpses”, this emphasizes on an
image of when plant life dies due to the cause of drought. Two last communicative
behaviour’s it will talk Page 16 about in my poem is “ice melting really fast, giving an image
how in Antarctica the ice is melting causing the sea level to raise, the ice is melting because
of global warming. And the other is “ozone layer up there to deplete,” showing an image that
the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, is causing the ozone layer to be damage the lessen it,
which we need to protect us from the harmful ultraviolet rays.
The other analyze is attitudes to language. The register I used was frozen. This was
maintained throughout the poem to give the reader a view that no response is required. The
person will read the poem and just understand what it is all about. They will not respond to
the poem but just understand what it’s all about.
