Horror aboard…
It shocked the world
The images that brought us to tears
The slimy coat of oil covering turtles and
Other winged birds and marinelife
An ecological disaster
Unfolding before our eyes
It started with toxic fumes from the engines of oil ships
But as they lost grip during a storm
Before our eyes, came the cries
And the panic as the ship in the Black Sea, disappeared
Sparking the greatest of fears
A huge ecological disaster
For years ever after
And even from space
The enormity of the disgrace
That brought little care to the place
We call home…

What a Relief
scurrying along the darkened street
slimy wet leaves under my feet
the rain is torrential
i struggle to balance my umbrella
against the harrowing wind
a passing bus spews out gagging fumes
they pierce my nostrils
i panic and almost slip
with a sense of relief
i reach my front door
stepping inside dripping wet and cold
startled, I awake in my bed
pull the blanket over my head
Feeling the warmth of home
