Cities in the Shadow of Change

Title: Cities in the Shadow of Change

Beneath the glimmering skyline’s grand embrace,
In cities thriving with ambition and pace,
Lies the looming specter of a changing face,
As climate’s fury gathers, firm in its embrace.

Miami, the jewel of Florida’s coast,
A paradise threatened by what’s to engross,
Rising seas whisper in eerie undertone,
Where skyscrapers meet the tempest prone.

In Texas, Houston’s skyline stretches far and wide,
Beside the Gulf, where hurricanes collide,
Winds howl through the urban sprawl,
With each storm, fear’s fingers enthrall.

Los Angeles, beloved City of Angels,
Where wildfires dance with fiery wrangles,
Heatwaves amplify the city’s plight,
As drought’s taunting whispers ignite.

New York’s majestic towers scrape the sky,
But changing tides dare to defy,
Superstorms surge and winds incline,
As the city braces for uncertain times.

Chicago’s winds whisper tales of frost,
As rising temperatures bear this city’s cost,
Snowfall dwindles and rivers run dry,
An altered future seems to lie.

Seattle, where rain is already a familiar friend,
But downpours intensify, with no end,
With each deluge, the risk expands,
And nature’s might reshapes sea and land.
