in the polluting of seas

by the toxins abreeze

and the chopping of trees

by the greedy who seize

Congratulations on your winning poem, Carolyn. The environment is one of my favorite themes. I hope that people who care about perserving Nature'in its natural state will read this, and somehow see the destruction all around them. I wish you continued success in your writing endeavors. Love and hugs, Andrew.
