Now me, recycling human ideas
.
just
used about
three gallons of
water rinsing out a
yogurt pot just so it
could go in the
recycling
bin
.
From bottles, to cartons and cans
Can't we do better than that, man?
From paper to plastic, then to recycling
Let us now go from motor cars to bicycling
I
recycling water
from sink to spinach, gourds, vines
bottled music, too
II
bubbling, gurgling sounds
strange calm, time stops -
ancient man smiles at spring
My majority years have bolted
and this Mothers Day
Has left me to suppress thoughts,
from our past,
left curbside as rubbish;
That God never intended
to be recyclable;
I am like a news paper
People want me for a moment of entertainment or knowledge
Then when their finished,
I get tossed into the recycling,
and the process starts over
Form:
Caterpillar has customized
the skyline,
leveling a peak to make
more room for emptiness.
At the end of life
in a wounded land,
there is only the endless
recycling of memories.
Recycling Usage
Use the stones
of my grave,
to build your home;
Use the wood
of my coffin,
to heat your home up;
Use my bones
to feed your pet;
Use my memory
to define -
a loser.
Turning tides have no worries, they roll on, obliviously.
In their wake the shifting sands bury secrets, centuries old.
Turning tides recycle sands and cleanse the womb, of Mother Earth.
all the bins were out
skies had turned to charcoal grey
as I grabbed my coat
walking in the rain
my mind on fiscardo bay
where its warm and dry
couldn't help dreaming
of hot grecian sun in may
on recycling day
over and over they tumble, colorful specters playing
the dying leaves of autumn have one last chase, before passing.
they will sleep in painted canvas ground, recycling themselves by spring.
Local authorities’ love recycling
It’s a green policy and its one that wins
They want to reduce the carbon footprint
Of the electorate, for their sins
But if they were truly serious
They’d stop making so many recycling bins
Form:
From the garbage bins she took out the cans,
On the station she had no fans.
Wandering and lowering her gaze,
Sighing and praying all in one phrase.
Days later I saw her again,
Muma won't wake up again,, she said in pain.
The old barn
condemned;
fresh wood
for creative juices;
carved and whittled into
the most refined
picture frames,
you’ve ever
ever imagined
to don
a fine portrait...
condemned
to a new life.
It's Natural Recycling
It's All In The Mix
It's Regardless...
It Was Written
Already...
Not A Stitch
Is Left Wanting
Is Left To Waste...
No Need To
Turn Over.
It's Mandatory.

my poems are crap
written on toilet tissue
waste bin overflows
I straighten each sheet
these words will get flushed away
perfect recycling!

socio economic pyramids and parallel o grams in space.
I do like uncle sams green eggs and ham.
Let the world crash, start over again.
**** the student loans.
They dont put you in prison for office crimes.
Put your credit in the recycling center
I’m waiting out the day
with minimalist hopes
and recycling anxiety.
I’m waiting for the hour
for a smooth transfer of power
or for things to go sour.
I’m waiting for the word
after a period of counting
for freedom’s call
or an accelerated freefall.
We don't discuss death
Civilized folk use funeral parlors
Funeral at home? Why on earth
We're good, clean entrepreneurs
The next generation never learn
How death is life, too, recycling
Part of life, why fear it, discern
God gives us children to go on living
birth -life -death ^

< recycling >
Treat trash as it deserves
with dexterity and cleanness
with the nobility of those who served us...
Trash is also rich
in recycling done well...
Don't treat it worthless trash
don't be sloppy verbose
Waste can and should be reused
there is something luxurious in trash....!
Sun kissed mornings
brightening blue skies
chasing morning dew,
evaporating and condensing
on small floating particles
to return once again
as the earth rotates
on central axis
revolving slowly
in a vast complex universe
filled with wonder
as the moon
makes its nightly cycle
Natures recycling
Love Yourself
Nobody Else Will.

**************
Don't Touch That
I Get Pride and Vanity
Mixed Up...
I Think I'll Just
Stuff 'em In Santa's Sack.
Or Some Other
Bag Of Lyin' Poop
I Just Made Up.
Put It Out For:
Recycling.

Fresh yummy blueberries
a dolphin in the sea
the turquoise sky above us
a platypus in a tree.
A recycling bin in your garage
a little aqua colored bird
a sapphire in a gem store
a puddle on the road.
The shiny light blue in the rainbow
a little blue seal
that is smooth to feel
BLUE is good for real!
Ensuing diversity of Nature in plenitude
Amazing assets preserved in Atmosphere, Landmass and Aqua flow.
Rolling, recycling Natural resources
Transforming, transcending species on evolution.
Hospitable habitat: The only Solar Planet.
