Rubbish Poem by Valerie Dohren

well, i skimmed through the comments before reading the poem. it sounds promising. THIS BETTER BE GOOD! ! ! 'cause i'm in the middle of oatmeal.......i mean in the middle of 'eating' oatmeal. :) bri

Loved this poem the patter is strong the message I say yay! Too... My friend used to encourage our kids to just drop litter on the way to school if she walked them and I'd go berseque and make both our set of children hang on to wrappers. I mean they damage the wildlife and just a minimal effort sets a finer place tyvm

Rubbish, rubbish everywhere. We are sinking in a sea of rubbish. And what about recycling, where does all that go? Probably in landfill in secret. As poets we can become environmentalists.

I love your humorous poems, Valerie! Rubbish drives me mad, and Llandudno Council ought to be paying me for picking it off the streets every time I go out - we live on a corner at a cross-roads, and everybody else's detritus whirling around on the local wind-currents ends up at our gate and in our garden (helped by antisocial passers-by.) Mind you - once it was a £20 note, so I shouldn't complain! As we have a similar sense of humour, you might enjoy one or two of my poems. Only 20 on the site so far; more to come.

Hi Valerie, although I don't like rubbish, I've always liked the word itself. It rolls off the tongue so nicely. In my mind I can easily recall Glinda the good witch saying it to the wicked witch. And I don't understand peoples need to produce so much rubbish for convien- ence sake. And I'll say it. I don't understand so much bad poetry. I've written plenty of bad poems, but they'te long gone and for- gotten. They became rubbish. Hopefully the ones I saved were worth saving. I think so. Anyway, you write extremely well, will read more. Take care, Lyn

It's. Long. And. Beautiful. Well. Done

Velly velly funny...This rhyme's a load of rubbish no its not I like it to be told to pick it up...Singapore is the place to be its clean...sorry you did not mention the sea of plastic swirling in the sea tons of it...nice to see you care...regards

Wonderful words to read again. The verbal rubbish is worse than the street rubbish. Thank You Val

High on humor and rich in responsibility. You have found a very light way to deal with a very heavy and important message. Well done my friend!

If it's a fun write, Valerie I must say you write this sort of poems very often to open our eyes. It's very right you said and we all should follow it. Thank you.
