[hometext] => I saw a photo of a dolphin with a plastic grocery bag hooked on its fin, it just looked wrong.
[bodytext] => Litter There is an illness in the ocean’s heart And clouds are spewing down in painful hail; Meadows of litter upon the sea and shore Find their way into the belly of the whale. Discarded plastics of our daily use Have plagued the pearlfish and dolphin farm; Marine life breathes in freedom just like us, Solutions haven’t caught up to the harm. The plastic bag or bottle at your feet Will find the albatross and green sea turtle And when we aren’t good stewards of the earth We wreck the habitat of life in circle. Let us destroy the litter that we make And keep aquatic life from this pollution; Our garbage has its place to not intrude Upon the baby whale in open ocean. What will we do within a world made worse Because we do not learn the grace of life; A choice of methods rests with us alone, Why can’t we see a little past the night? Our inward heart at times will show its thorns And jab compassion off its lonely stand; Please recognize these creatures in our global home And the affects we have on them at our command.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
