A Quickie

An ocean filled with bubbles, a soapy sudsy sea.
A world unknown unto itself, destroyed by you and me.
The caustic agitation, beyond imagination.
Reviling empty cages, no words left for the sages.
A pretty playful paridise, neglected by so many vice.

For SKAt's contest.

I love your entry to her contest. It goes along with my environmental one about one huge flame!!! (in last line, I'd say: so much of vice)

Hi dear friend, one of my infrequent visits and I had to be here. The message hits home as we continue to destroy our only home. Hugs to you Robert; Love, Lizzie

Like this very much, but keep in mind, it's nothing like one good super volcano and 50,000 years could't cure
