Anything New?

another day of oddities and surprises
mother nature dittos her wrath
angered winds leave a destructive path
yep, the weather continues to amaze
fickleness is obvious its intent is hazed
the population grows so do our woes
invasions, famines, strikes, and disease
sadly, mother earth has skinned her knees
the clock may say it's in charge
but our journey in time still at large
let's noodle the whys and ways of the world
seems the value of life caught in a twirl
wonder where common sense has gone
time to soul search places far and beyond
FEH
Keep on keepin' on

John, I am delighted you enjoyed my poem and thrilled by your observation of a specific line. I love it when a line gathers extra attention. Thank you for your comment.

Yes Franci there is something new in this for me.
Initially I was puzzled by the line Let's noodle the whys and ways of the world.
All became clear when my dictionary informed me that noodle could mean to improvise or play casually on a musical instrument
The line then became clear and full of imagery of playing almost any instrument while mulling over problems stresses etc.
Some Music has been described as being the age of enlightenment.
The line certainly was for me.

If “mother earth has skinned her knees”, then it’s us who pushed her over.
