Comment from kiwisteveh
Hi. I've read several of these tonight and yours is the first one that has made me pause to consider whether you have quite grasped the 'gross' criterion of the Lowku. The other poets have all presented topics based on unpleasant bodily functions. The impact of litter on a beauty spot may be deeply offensive, but is it truly gross?
As well you have not provided a picture to illustrate your topic. I believe the writing prompt required one.
Good luck im any case.

thanks steve for your comments...i read the description of the contest to include something disgusting... i live near a beach and we have to deal with litter destroying the beauty ...the lone bottle against the shoreline illustrated that to me...but i probably interpreted the topic wrong..i appreciate your insight thanks

This is a great lowku poem for the contest. I like your final line especially; it's a great statement of how we've destroyed some of the beauty of our planet's oceans. Best wishes in the contest. Carol
