Reflection

Although I initially thought of poetry as just something related to English or prose, I feel like it is also very similar to art. Not just in choice of handwriting and calligraphy, but also in the power of words to paint a picture. Leaded with emotions, it can just be as powerful. Here, I mix both words and a visual to emphasize our lethal impact of the environment. After encountering this image, I hope that people will think twice before tossing plastic into our oceans.
