Rubbish Comments

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.

as you can see in this (copied from online) : Origin of AIN'T contraction of are not First Known Use: 1749..........................ain't contains an apostrophe. ain't that somethin'? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It hangs on outstretched branches Like washing on a line ..................very nice! or should i say not nice? this is one of the more difficult types of rubbish for me to retrieve. most litter on the ground doesn't bother me as much as our neighbor's dog s++t on our lawn or parking area. some litter is quite attractive actually. i'm serious, though it is MY opinion. some brightly-colored plastic etc. can spice up the roadside and put a temporary end to the same old boring grass, wildflowers, etc. my favorite stanza so far: So if you are responsible For putting it about Shame on you because its clear You're just a litter-lout! - - - - - - - - - - - i'm really enjoying the rhymes. thanks. i'm glad you had the decency to say some politicians, not all, or just plain politicians. (p.s.i'm not a politician.) Methinks the time is coming To take my final bow............... ...........to leave PH; to kill yourself; to what i wonder. hmmm! don't do either of those, yet. ==================== my wife would say i spout plenty of verbal rubbish......but....she's just a woman......what would SHE know? BESIDES, she rarely listens to me, so she doesn't know what i am saying. thanks for sharing. :) bri

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

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.

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.

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

Nice poem, normally I can't bear long ones, pardon me, but this wasn't rubbish at all, it was brilliant. I agree with the verbal and written part of the rubbish, i can relate to it, as a human being to rubbish is divine, and to convert it to poetry is sublime applies to me lol. But I don't feel synergy with the physical rubbish. In the part of the world where I live, humans are rubbished, so why should we care for the other rubbish?

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

Your- Rubbish- isn't rubbish but stands in good stead! Well written Valerie Dohren! !

hahha, , really a fun poem, , , enjoyed reading it, ,

when the litter is recycled, it becomes the money spinning business! What is rubbish to one is a treasure to another! anyway as usual a beautiful poem from Valerie Dohren

Loved this poem Litter ruins our beautiful planet and is advertisement for companys i hate it.

You are one amazing lady! You start by giving the litter louts a kicking, move swiftly on to the politicians and then can't stop yourself! LOL worth more than a 10

Great write wish I could do half as well. Love the imgery and I agree some of us need to put our pens down I think I'll start from today no more poems from me. .................................................: O)

How funny Val! One persons rubbish goes down a treat at a boot fair! I shall pocket this 'rubbish' and sure hope it gets recycled as its too cute to throw away!

haha i liked this, an enjoyable read, flows nicely
