Best Garbage Poems

I gather up each word, each thrown away,
putting my poetry back together;
words "thrown" to wither and decay,
     this garbage- I love forever.
       My poems called worthless,
       my poems so...

Our packaging simply is wrong
To hold things in place, safe and strong
The plastic hugs tight
The cardboard you fight
To open the product takes long!

And when you are done you will see
The thing you had purchased, might be
As small as your thumb
While you face huge sum
Of valueless...

There I sit in every home, 
in the corner of the room.
I collect discarded items
including bottles of old perfume.

Bills and advertisements
magazines and letters too, 
especially those that come
with urgency typed in blue.

You never seem to take the time
to appreciate what I do, 
with all this...

The trash keeps rising in a heap
upon the slopes of Everest.
Ungrateful climbers make her weep.
The trash keeps rising in a heap
until it’s wrath that they will reap
for heeding not her one request.
The trash keeps rising in a heap
upon the slopes of Everest.

the keys stick when I type,
the ink smudges on cheap paper,
there’s an old man in the corner
laughing through his dentures at my words.
he knows, I know—
it’s all garbage,
all of it.

writing the same worn-out lines,
spinning circles around rent checks
that will barely clear.
this morning, the phone rang,
and...

One habit to which I adhere
I clean out my Ford once a year
Back seat yet to fill
Keep truckin’ until

Though this is written like a poem it is
more of a thank you letter.

God answers prayers in so many ways
he brings us people to help keep the faith
he gave to me a sweet, sweet man
who helped me truly understand
when i was low and ready to...

Busy shadows follow him on his route
Eyes collecting people dressed in a suite
Every sweat filled day he tells his story
His love’s labor for family glory

In his job syringe needles are not strange
Trash piles giving us a life in exchange
Pill boxes color putrid plastic bags, ...

Passersby rush past on their daily commute to work
Day after day they see me; or others like me. 
We’re like unwanted rubbish on the city streets 
cowering in shop doorways, acting like frightened animals.
People hurry by; few look me directly in the eye …
I guess...

Good people will place me where I serve best
And charge me with a most noble duty
Regardless of the weather I won’t rest
Bearing the task of preserving beauty
And though some may sneer and say I’m smelly
Greater peace of mind breathes where I am seen
Everyone needs me...

They dive and circle as if in hypnotic state,
Tiny wrens, and ravens, and coal black crows.
When trucks dumps their loads, the flurry of fowl contemplate
Savory morsels or just household throws.

The noise of large tractors, and of sharp shrills and caws,
Of wild wings flapping over a...
