Trash Trees



How I love to
pick some fruit
for a snack,
sans the loot.

However today,
I took a bite
and something just did not feel right.
I took a look
at the fruit I bit
(significantly less succulent)
and to my dismay.
      To my fright.
There’s was nothing but trash trees in sight.

About this poem

Inspired by all the litter in Liverpool, and the direction we are headed.
