..Humanity Beached

humanity beached 
pink flesh broiling in the sun...
fish and chips with oil
  
*seasoned with summer

Nice imagery here...I think I would have said "fish and chics with oil". However, this is one of those poems that makes you think, which is exactly what you made me do. Congrats, Deb, on your well deserved win! Dan C

Hello, this is Sierra. I am the writer of Until We Meet Again. I have withdrawn from your contest and I apologize for the misunderstanding. I am new to the community and still learning how to operate everything on the site. But I would like to enter your contest and be given a catch phrase if that is possible. Thank you

Nice title, Apt images conveying the message of the current Oil problem, yet humor in the last line.
