    Gushing oil and twisted steel
    Our wildlife put to test
    Aftermath of an oil spill
    wounding nature's breast

    ^^^
    Your opening stanza is very eye opening Kay.
    Your 4th line is heart hitting ....
    Wounding nature's breast < ---- Deep meaning

    The imagery you've created makes one want to cry ... for the wildlife and beauty destroyed.

    This tragic even forever changed our wildlife and has affected it to this day. This matter is still tied up in our courts as of this day.
    ^^^
    I love how you added this piece at the end so the reader can google this tragic event.
    So very sad!
    I am definitely going to google this after and read all about it.

    Thank you for sharing your words Kay ... very heart wrenching

    Events like this deeply sadden me, our animals need protecting, so many animals help us and save us, there is so much care we can give them through all of our knowledge and ability yet many humans get so wrapped up in there lives they really dont care. It makes me angry and very sad, of how selfish humans can be. But you have expressed such care in writing this piece of such a tragic event, I hope many people will read this piece and see the awfulness of this and realize they need our help and protection in such a growing selfish world.

    Well done. Unfortunately, these things still go on, whether it's an oil spill, or just destroying natural habitat in general.

    As Joni said "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". I really loved the second verse of this, almost surreal. Excellent!
