Hi there,

My name is Sally.

This is a review for ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
I chose this poem as part of the Earth Day Challenge as it focuses on a HUGE problem - plastic in our seas, in our landfill, along our beaches.

Introduction
The title Poo-Poo to Plastic shouted to me from the page 'Read Me!' - so I did!

Technique:
You use four limerick stanzas in this poem which work really well. I enjoy reading the limerick as it is light, usually funny, and rather tongue-in-cheek. I think this is a clever way of tackling some key recycling/waste issues. You point out that our plastics are being found in the seas as fish food and as sharps on our beaches; the horrible truth of the world we are living in.

I absolutely love the second stanza, with your use of:
“Though I drink many bottles a day,
Not one plastic have I;
I’m a S’well kind of guy,
And I urge you to swig the same way.”
The pun on S'well is very clever and emphasises the point purposefully.

Suggestions:
I would have been tempted to have the second stanza as my last as, in my opinion, it is the strongest. I think the final stanza is weaker than two or four, and your poem would have more impact going out with a bang - if you see my point.

Other than that, a great poem!

And finally:
An amusing poem that shines a magnifier in some key 'Earth' issues. Well done!


Sally
