This is what I'm submitting for the environmental fair poem contest. Wish me luck!
A single flower
The color of blushing cheeks
Swaying in the breeze
A single highway
Newly paved and painted
As dark as oil
Monsters roaring past
Unnatural creatures
Of glass and metal
The bleed as they pass
Their black lifeblood spraying out
Across the pavement
Flowing into grass
Parched stems soaking it up
Gulping down poison
Tainting the flower
Sanguine petals veined with black
The lacework of death
Crumpling, folding
Grief, sorrow bending the stem
Leaves turn to powder
The blackness moves on
Oil engulfing the world
Blue and green turn black
