Notes About The Poem

Waste

Waste has worsened widespread. 
                                     World's oceans polluted. 
                                    Wonder throwaway mind 
                                      Wadded to poor beings 
                                 Wreckage of planes and trains 
                                  Wastage slash-and-burn seas 
                                   Worldbank work tackle trash

David Kavanagh May 10, 2021 at 1:56 PM Oh this is so good Lasaad, grabs us straight away, it really is a nightmare scenario, and makes me ashamed at the same time, this has got to be a huge contender, best wishes for the contest, cheers David Sotto Poet May 10, 2021 at 2:43 PM Thanks, My friend David, I know this subject is a little meticulous, but it has to be taken care of; thanks for your support wish you a great evening.

Evelyn Judy Buehler May 10, 2021 at 11:17 AM The tragedy of it all is that pollution is so avoidable. A great first step is electing leaders who care about and take protecting our world seriously. A very fine pleiades W poem, Lasaad. Best wishes for the contest, my friend.

Victor Buhagiar May 10, 2021 at 3:46 AM These days I dare not follow documentaries because they make me mad. So many fish die because of plastic objects, broken glass etc. Important poem. Should get top place. Sotto Poet May 10, 2021 at 12:28 PM That's true dear Victor, but, I think we should keep looking for those documentaries, at least to get alerted ahead of time in case of a huge hurricane or any natural disaster

L Milton Hankins May 9, 2021 at 12:21 PM Excellent submission to Kim's contest. It is also one of the world's greatest problems, as you well know, Lasaad. Thanks for highlighting it.

Demetrios Trifiatis May 9, 2021 at 10:33 AM A horrific situation that our planet and life on it is found in and your poem depicts it very well! Good luck my friend Lasaad!

Tom Cunningham May 9, 2021 at 5:21 AM The situation has got a lot worse and things only last a short time and you have to replace them, mankind has become the throwaway society and treats the earth like a thrash can. Well written Lasaad and good luck. Tom Sotto Poet May 9, 2021 at 9:41 AM Thanks for the kind words and the lovely wishes; that's true; humankind has become a throwaway society. Have a wonderful evening Tom, best regards
