After what seems like eons of busy Saturdays – translate that to Saturdays filled with classes, games, et al for the kids – we have finally achieved a weekend that actually begins on Friday evenings. Granted, we still have something for an hour Saturday morning, but compared to a busy Friday evening and Saturdays filled with a cluster of classes and games, this is Super! a truly Super Saturday 🙂
seven days seems a short week!
For dVerse Poetics, Brian has us addressing issues we are passionate about through the eyes of the pumpkin…
My
friend, the scarecrow
friend, the scarecrow
There
he stood
he stood
All
tattered and torn
tattered and torn
Grinning
sadly at me
sadly at me
I
wondered why
wondered why
Was
a hot day
a hot day
Throat
parched
parched
Aah!
I feel drops…of water??
I feel drops…of water??
Yikes!
This burns…
This burns…
Not
a cooling shower this..
a cooling shower this..
Hack!
Hack! What is this yucky black stuff?
Hack! What is this yucky black stuff?
Can’t
see a thing..
see a thing..
Throat
is dry all over again..
is dry all over again..
My
roots tell me a sad story too
roots tell me a sad story too
The
water that reaches them is full of goo
water that reaches them is full of goo
(well,
if it was only poo
if it was only poo
Then
that it would be cool!)
that it would be cool!)
But
this is horrible, terrible, scary –
this is horrible, terrible, scary –
like
something out of a flue..
something out of a flue..
Eating away at their earthly home
By spray, exhaust, and factories too
A spray that makes me grow fast and insect-free
Then poke a grin into me
Come
Hallow’s eve
Hallow’s eve
Those shapes are really funny.
Oh those pesticides… poor scarecrows and pumpkins…

Love your seven days sentence and your photo. THANKS for sharing.

Wow…what a great write. I love how you put this together!
oh yes – all the things we spray around and have no idea what it really does…ugh..
A timely message!!
Yes, it all seeps into the ground or the water supply. We are dooming ourselves with all that stuff.

Oh, this is cringe worth "poke a grin on me…"
This is truly a horror!
Well done
