Climate of Sorrow
Los Angeles Times readers submitted their views in verse for a feature dedicated to opinion poetry.
(Anthony Russo / For The Times )
Will our children
have those same
long sunburned
stretched out
moments of

lying in the sun
thinking of nothing;
or have we

the world
around them
with our
childish
fears?
The author is a poet, writer and playwright who lives in Eagle Rock.
