Tides of sorrow brought by oil by Malcolm Wilson Bucknall

Oilspill

from the Hull Daily Mail/East Riding Mail on Tuesday, September 23

From raptured tanks into the sea

Crude oil spews its misery

From stranded hulk seeps poisoned strife

Which takes its toll on feathered life.

The tanker leaks her dark despair

Tainting the depths beyond repair

Around her in the tortured sea

Feathered forms flap helplessly.

Black oil now calms, the restless sea

Clouding her depths of misery

Her tainted swells tormenting roar

Along the soiled dark

streatching shore.

Congealed pebbles oily black

Along the wet sands weave a track

As tides of sorrow scar the beach

Feathered forms in anguish screech.
