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.
