Long Plastic bag Poems

I see people moving, but going nowhere
I see people moving with their hands thrown in the air
I see people moving but they have nothing to share
Bags and pans, old kettle, and old man
The scavenger, the...

Everything here is true
Just as stated
because it's already happened
or - it has yet to occur - 
but it's very soon to occur
and I have such strong feeling
that the future will be as I see it

*last winter break*

I woke up abruptly, my chest gripped and tight. My face felt hot but my arms stung as if frostbitten. I gasped for air that wouldn’t come, as if I had a plastic...

A WISH FOR ALL FISH

Washed up on shores around the world
Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark, 
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd, 
The facts real and stark!
My Fairy God mother...

With the phone call we all dread
“Mrs Palmer we regret to inform you

They don’t ask if I remember.
They think I’m just a tree—
bark, leaves, and silence.
But I do.

I remember.

Before roads,
before fences,
before the wooden swing on my lowest branch—
I was already here,

Just rooted.
Listening.

And they...

Assaulted Peanuts

They rode across the Western Hills,
For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,
Of King Pod and his merry throng.

Who were they, this reckless band,

Water me with silence while reaching out your palms through the closed shutter.

Was taken with a gun.
They had three years together
And life was getting so much better.

Before you know it
Was it always there

You didn’t think about it today

Let's ditch a poly bag.
Let's ditch a poly bag.
Yes, you heard it right,
Whether it's a straw,
A cup or a plate, 
Whether it's bottled water or a polybag
All land in a landfill
And finally in the ocean.

my neighbor's kid who lives down the road,
would come over to do the lawn
and some simple house chores,
for extra spending money.
