Best Recycled Poems

My heart has accepted every piece of furniture
you have brought in and hoarded, polished and stored, 
for show or hidden in the attic of cerebral storage. 

Cobwebs draped the entrances I walked through
without wincing, chasing extinguishing light…
gold tarnishing possibilities that I found invaluable....

Recycled souls have 
Many chances; many lives
The wheel of life turns
Education takes some time; 
Humans are quite forgetful.

Reclaimed Recycled

Discarded in a rubbish skip
Mid broken bottles rags and bone
T'was destined for the council tip
And so I claimed it for my own

I took it home  that rusty shield
I rubbed it down, and found the shine
of tempered steel its glow revealed
So glad I found...

Something tells me I’ve been here before 
In my past, but not long ago
I’ve justified, many weak alibis 
And repent for this recycled soul

I repent for my recycled soul
But I still keep the devil in tow
I’ve been scraped off the floor
Put together once more
So won’t...

Recycled Wisdom Lost
                       by Odin Roark

How common to recycle today
bottle,
cardboard,
can,
or bubble wrap.

How rare the regard for pleas from
mind,
heart,
memory,
wishing also to amend anew.

How satisfying,
To...

I should have been recycled and placed in the bin

It wouldn't hurt there ,Id be cozy with cans and  tin

Dragged up the hill for the trash men with their bright orange vests

I'd watch for the racoons who like to root and make a mess

Take...

Recycled Dragons

Today I built a castle
with an empty cardboard box.
I built a moat around it
with books and building blocks.
Then I crawled inside and waited
for a dragon to appear
‘cause I’m a knight in shining armor!
There is nothing that I fear!
With a little imagination
and a pencil as...

because NOW is the moment that we are inspired 
through inspiration by the power thats considered much higher

Recycled

I have gone through many storms. 
Some I thought would capsize the boat, 
and drown both me, 
and my beloved children.
At the first sign of squall, 
I tried to be ready. 
As the storm approached I gathered all that I could, 
to make sure, we...

Do you believe in miracles
Do you want the angels to land on your eyelids
Does it feel like a frosty breath is merely a conglomeration 
And simultaneous expulsion of ghosts
The shared air of time
Elements refuse to expire 
I believe we are the miracles of many elemental...

(A Blank Verse Sonnet)

The couch, a central theme in room's décor
of hunter green, sky blue and dusty mauve,
served well for years as extra bed for guests,
a restful place for favored pet to nap, 

and seat where Grandkids loved to watch cartoons.
Though loath to part with...

food, god, and the universe as you
You are the universe (I insist and will prove it)
So say grace before you eat ...
You agree we are stardust, the stuff of the Universe
So say grace before you eat, but think productively ...
If stars & humans are stardust,...
