Greetings, Dave!

Theme:

You draw us in quickly, with a rapid-fire verse of vivid imagery of the contaminated seas and their distressful conditions, pinning the blame neatly on humanity through the instinctive moral repugnance of "gross debauchery."

We then observe the continued destruction and uninformed misuse of Earth's precious natural resources, and are provided a hopeful solution by the reminder of Earth Day and God's assigned responsibility to be stewards of what He created.

Flow, structure and format:

The triple rhyme in the first verse gets us off to a great start, and the continued use of the same sound brings home the point quite memorably. I can imagine this being read aloud and sounding both catchy and sincere, like some of my favorite songwriters or a well-thought rap session.

Your formatting (font size and style) leaves nothing to be desired, and you've chosen three suitable genres and added a matching cover image.

Overall feelings:

I love a good nature poem, and this is an excellent example of one worth writing down and adding to a collection. You express an urgent message in a clear and memorable way.

Suggestions for improvement:

I might suggest linking the Writer's Cramp activity at the bottom, perhaps in a dropnote, with a quick summary of the prompt you wrote for (Earth Day, I get it, but were there any specific requirements involved?) Also you could include a line count and word count for potential entry in future contests.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *WingL**HeartO**WingR*
