Waste paper basket ball...

by Mr. Darcy   Sep 17, 2015


Penurious parchment
aches
for cruelty to bite it,
Stain it...

& then discard it
into the cold

:

to
die.

    Excellent use of driving power for a short write, one which many of us writers can relate to!

    Michael,
    This is brilliant and reminds me of the endless sheets of paper my kids scribble a few lines on and then throw in the bin because it didn't go quite right!
    I think the Stereophonics sang "it takes one tree to make a thousand matches but it only takes one match to burn a thousand trees....." something like that anyway.
    Brilliantly inventive!
