Scraps in rusted trash
Scent the air with misery
Clutching his pink slip

During Autumn Rush,
Squirrels chase scraps of acorns-
                    On trails to winter....

Egg shells, potato peels,
Fruit scraps from meals,
Coffee grindings—
From this…food springs.

gravity saves me
watching my thoughts spin away
grasping to maintain
scraps from my reality
combine to keep me living...

Clipped close
(mine)
Speculation lingers on 
Cautious shoulders,
Hooped ankles.

The clean sky
The dirty earth
And all the 
bird scraps 
in between....

hits hard,fierce
words flowing out
onto scraps, paper
anything.
flowing out
a great release
who shall read it
who shall praise it
who shall remember it....

before the soap
take the scraps
from the plate

place in a pot
fill with water
and bring to

a boil for
tomorrow's
leftover meal...

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse
Morphed metal beams into steel scraps
Oh say what a fright
The dawn's early light
Ends the anthem-man's span with taps...

Dogs have it right, shuffling and sniffing
for food and love; while we, the owning  
masses, throw them scraps of hope or tie 
their necks with rope.

I am as an infant 
Reaching
For the stars
Above my crib
Fascinated so
By shiny
A piece
Of metal scraps
And lacquered wood
Hanging 
By silver threads
On the lattice
Of the skies....

I'm just a junkyard dog.
Old scars tell my story.
I'm left water and scraps.
Alone in the dark I sleep
and dream of a better life
and love with es
I smell beyond fences.
Love is just out of reach....

swirling, slow dancers
scraps of crimson, amber, gold ~
waltzing eagerly

The Worlds human snakes have raised the stakes,
From table scraps to pies and cakes.

Seagulls saunter the shoreline, nipping at scraps of dead fish

     Hunters and gatherers will soon have more than a bellyful

          Gils choked by the black tar and oiled wings await Gulf sea life...

As we
Chase the baubles
Of glee

Perhaps
These shiny thrills
Are scraps

Begin
Seeking treasures
Within

Water ; it's precious, runs in veins red and oceans blue,
 the populace know it all-the significance of unfathomable water blue, 
yet there is heaps and heaps of garbage,
 scraps and remains high and low
 in placid tidal pool....

murdered in my study
surrounded by scraps of paper,
the last lines, feathers of a lyrical bird

the word electric
that salinates the sea
an apple of the sun
a dye stone

there are too many words
to call the fallen lines....

So this is how it ends

Clutching at a pen that has run out of ink

Surrounded by scraps of crumpled discarded papers 

Oh the Theater

The Drama

Pause for effect

Full Stop

Average Grammar

Final Chapter

The End...

Here in my heart lies a patchwork of scraps 
alongside a love, once whole and beautiful 

Here in my soul pastiche melodies of songs  
that spoke of flower fields and loving you.
