spoils

slap slap slap
of the soup
sliding its slimy self
onto shore
a seaweed salad
over-dosed
in balsamic
shiny at the surface
slick-toxic
lurks under
neath
gasps and glugs
as pools plugged
with gunk
another live one
sunk
the dirge-pipe
of a gull
lulls us all
senseless

  1. very vivid descriptions Kat,

  2. I agree with Juliet. The imagery here is vivid and resonates strongly when read aloud.

  3. the dirge-pipe
    of a gull
    lulls us all
    senseless

    Powerful words and timely topic!
