Stench
Stench of a trash can /
left open in the alley — /
Voodoo lily blooms.

“Hanging around”
Hanging around
Flowing with the creek /
Gathering along the banks /
The trash never ends.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Street trash”
Lottery tickets, /
phone sex ads, cigarette butts: /
fake pleasures turned trash.

Photo finish Friday: “Fishing”
Fishing for trash during a creek cleanup. Not as pretty as real fish, and sometimes harder to “catch.” What would you find at a creek cleanup?

Willard the Writer had but one goal in life, and despite his wife’s requests, then pleas, and finally order, it was not to take out the trash “Now!”

Freeform Friday: limerick: “Man with Waders”
There once was a man with waders
Who thought he might find him some gators
down at his creek,
where the trash did seep
left often by unkind invaders.
On October 13th, a Saturday,
folks like you will come to play
from nine until noon
and not a moment too soon
to pick up trash and put it far away.
So come to First Creek and discover
“treasures” left by some unkind others:
shopping carts and flat tires,
pay phones, couches, and wires
and stuff that the creek tries to smother.
Bring tools and gloves for your hands;
pick up trash for as long as you can.
Once done, we will eat
Harby’s Pizza and Three Rivers’ treats
and be glad we helped the creek and the land.
A man trying on waders: Ask not by whom the trash will be picked up. The trash will be picked up by you.

Man trying on waders, getting ready for First Creek Greenway Cleanup, Saturday, September 24th, 9 AM to noon,
It was Saturday, September 24th
when the man and his friends set a course.
from nine until noon
and not a moment too soon
to put an end to this trashy discourse.

and be glad we helped the creek and the land.
Magpies cupcakes and Three Rivers Market treats will be served up after the cleanup.
